Liverpool are through to the 2014/15 FA Cup semi-finals courtesy of a 1-0 win over Blackburn Rovers on Wednesday night.

Brendan Rodgers' were forced to Ewood Park following the 0-0 draw at Anfield on March 8 and were able to get the job done in Lancashire thanks to a brilliant second-half goal from Philippe Coutinho.

Gary Bowyer's Championship side surely made a nuisance of themselves throughout, making life difficult for the visitors, before Coutinho produce a piece of Brazilian magic on 70 minutes.

The playmaker's initial corner was cleared directly back to him before he played a rapid one-two with Jordan Henderson before firing beyond Simon Eastwood's outstretched right hand from the right side of the area.

The timely goal set up a grandstand finish with Rovers looking dangerous on the break through the likes of Ben Marshall and Tom Cairney while second-half sub Rudy Gestede was proving a handful in the air.

Rovers threw caution to the wind in the dying stages by sending Eastwood up for Tommy Spurr's long throw-in and the big keeper was able to take a touch before a getting shot on target which was kept out by his opposing number Simon Mignolet.

That late intervention from the Belgian was enough to keep a clean sheet for the Reds who will now head to Wembley on April 19 to take on Aston Villa.

For Blackburn, it was an inspired run to the final eight of the famous cup competition which was evidenced by the massive crowd of 28,415 at Ewood.
