Liverpool beat Stoke 2-1 to reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup. The Reds opened the scoring at Anfield after 23 minutes thanks to a sublime finish from Luis Suarez, the Uruguayan striker stroking the ball into the corner of the net from 20 metres. Last season s FA Cup runners-up struck back quickly, however, when former Liverpool forward Peter Crouch nodded in the equaliser from a corner. Liverpool, who won the League Cup in February, dominated possession after half-time and they got their reward in the 57th minute when winger Stewart Downing ran across two Stoke defenders in the penalty area before drilling a firm shot past goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen. In the semi-final Liverpool will play either Everton or Sunderland.
