Liverpool appeared to be heading into the fifth round of the FA Cup with relative ease until League One outfit Shrewsbury Town staged a stunning comeback from 2-0 down to earn a replay.
Jurgen Klopp’s men took the lead through youngster Curtis Jones early in the first half before Donald Love’s own goal seconds into the second half put Liverpool on the front foot.
Town striker Jason Cummings came off the bench to nab a ten-minute brace which rocked the champions of Europe as the lower league opposition had a chance to win it in the dying stages.
Klopp threw on his first-team stars, Mo Salah, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Roberto Firmino but they just couldn’t find the winner as the German showed his intentions of not wanting an extra fixture on their schedule.
But it was stand-in skipper for the afternoon, Dejan Lovren, that received the brunt of fans’ anger.

‘Total liability’ and ‘world-class joke’ were two phrases used to describe his display while one fan was left ashamed by the fact that the Croatian centre-back was their captain for the day.
The 30-year-old’s partnership alongside Joel Matip was also highlighted as the pair have lost their starting places over recent seasons to both Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez.
