With just of this replay left, however, Brendan Rodgers' side finally found a way and Steven Gerrard's dream of a birthday FA Cup final lives on.

However, having hit the Wood work three times, they were staring at an embarrassing defeat after Eidur Gudjohsonsen's second half penalty edged Bolton to the precipice of another 2015 FA Cup shock.

With a man advantage after the subsequent sending off of Bolton's Neil Danns, Liverpool still looked as though they were heading out. With just five minutes to go, Liverpool's pressure- and their extral player- finally told.

Emre Can- delivered a lovely chip over the Bolton defence for Raheem Sterling to volley in the equaliser. Then, three minutes later and with extra time seemingly inevitable, Phillipe Coutinho beat Bolton goalkeeper Adrew Lonergan with a right foot shot from 20 yards to hand Liverpool a fifth round game at Crystal Palace.
