Liverpool have booked their place in the fourth round of the FA Cup with a 2 - 1 win away to Conference side Mansfield.

It only took Daniel Sturridge seven minutes to open his account as a Liverpool player as the Reds took a 1 - 0 lead.

But from there on in Brendan Rodgers side toiled, although Sturridge should have scored a one-on-one minutes after opening the scoring.

When Liverpool finally made it 2 - 0 there was a hint of controversy - and unsurprisingly Luis Suarez was involved after coming off the bench.

The Uruguayan clearly handled the ball before tapping the ball into the net, although it looked like "ball to hand".

Matthew Greene pulled one back for Mansfield 11 minutes from time but Liverpool held on to set up a fourth round tie away to Oldham.
