Liverpool secure FA Cup quarterfinal spot post 2-1 win over Crystal Palace

Liverpool came from behind to beat Crystal Palace 2-1 and secure a quarterfinal birth in the FA Cup, thanks to Daniel Sturridge and Adam Lallana's late goal.

Crystal took the lead when Fraizer Campbell followed up to finish after Dwight Gayle's header warded off by Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet.

However, Sturridge equalised for the seven time FA Cup winners with an excellent left-footed volley from Jordan Henderson's chipped pass, and Lallana scored the winner, within 10 minutes of the striker's goal, with a close-range follow-up after Mario Balotelli's low free-kick was blocked, the BBC reported.

It was a fine recovery from Brendan Rodgers's side, who are currently placed at the seventh spot in the Premier League table and the third highest-ranked team left in the competition.

With Chelsea, Manchester City, Southampton United and Tottenham Hotspur all eliminated, this tournament represents Liverpool's best chance of winning a trophy in a disappointing season.

Liverpool had last won the FA Cup in 2006, the report added.
