Late goals by Raheem Sterling and Philippe Coutinho sent Liverpool through to the FA Cup fifth round with a 2-1 replay victory at ten-man Bolton last night.

The Championship team took the lead when former Chelsea and Barcelona striker Eidur Gudjohnsen coolly slotted home a penalty after Martin Skrtel was adjudged to have clipped young striker Zach Clough in the area after 59 minutes.

Bolton, however, soon found themselves down to 10 men when Neil Danns was sent off for a second bookable offence for a foul on Joe Allen.

A Sterling volley through the legs of the Bolton goalkeeper with four minutes left was followed by a long-range Coutinho strike in stoppage time to win the fourth-round replay for the Premier League club.

The two sides drew 0-0 in the first match at Anfield. Liverpool next face an away tie at Crystal Palace.

Fifth round
C. Palace vs Liverpool; Arsenal vs Middlesbrough; Aston Villa vs Leicester City; West Brom vs West Ham; Bradford vs Sunderland; Blackburn vs Stoke City; Derby vs Reading; Preston NE vs Manchester United.

Ties to be played over the weekend of Feb. 14-15.
