Teenagers Koumas and Danns lead Liverpool into the FA Cup quarterfinals

Jayden Danns scored twice, and fellow teenager Lewis Koumas also scored, as a young Liverpool side defeated Championship Southampton 3-0 on Wednesday to advance to the FA Cup quarterfinals against Manchester United.

The 18-year-old son of former Premier League and Wales international Jason Koumas received a superb pass from Bobby Clark on the edge of the penalty area before shooting into the bottom corner, deflecting off Jack Stephens.

Danns, 18, scored his first goal for Liverpool's senior team in the 73rd minute by dinking the ball over keeper Joe Lumley, and he scored again 15 minutes later when he pounced on a loose ball after Lumley saved Conor Bradley's shot.

The eight-time FA Cup winners, who defeated Chelsea 1-0 in the League Cup final at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, will face rivals Manchester United in the last eight on March 16.
