LONDON – Liverpool reached the fifth round of the FA Cup at the expense of arguably its fiercest rival on Saturday, Dirk Kuyt scoring an 88th-minute goal to earn his side a 2-1 win over Manchester United.
While Chelsea progressed with a 1-0 win at Queens Park Rangers, Kuyt hit a low shot past goalkeeper David de Gea to win the game for Liverpool following first-half goals by Daniel Agger and United’s Park Ji-sung.
Victory means Liverpool is unbeaten in its last three matches against United.
Juan Mata scored a 62nd-minute penalty for Chelsea at QPR, where home fans taunted Blues captain John Terry over allegations he racially abused QPR defender Anton Ferdinand when the teams last met in October.
