Liverpool star Adam Lallana admitted that he was delighted for the club's youngsters as they picked up an FA Cup win over Everton.

The Reds were fielding a weakened side in the third round clash, while Everton were nearly full strength.

But the home crowd and some excellent performances from the youngsters got them through with a 1-0 win, with teenager Curtis Jones scored the winner.

"It's frustrating at times for them [the youngsters] because they want to play," Lallana told reporters after the game.

"But it's times like these that they are given the opportunity to show what they are capable of.

"I am delighted he [Jones] took his opportunity, as did everybody else."
