VIDEO: Coutinho beauty fires Liverpool into the fifth round past 10-man Bolton

A strike worthy of winning any game

Darragh Murphy

The best players stand up and are counted in the important moments and Philippe Coutinho did just that in the 90th minute of Liverpool’s comeback win over Bolton tonight.

Brendan Rodgers’ side fell behind to an Eidur Gudjohnen penalty on the hour mark which gave Bolton the chance to dream of a place in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

But those hopes were dashed when Neil Danns was given his marching orders for a second yellow card just five minutes after the goal.

The Reds drew level through the in-form Raheem Sterling who finished off a wonderful Emre Can pass with a perfectly weighted volley past Andy Lonergan.

With extra-time looming, up cropped the talismanic Brazilian Philippe Coutinho who steadied himself on the edge of the box before firing home a looping effort to set up a fifth round meeting with Crystal Palace.
