A stunning Albert Riera strike and a late Fernando Torres tap-in helped Liverpool to victory at Preston in a pulsating FA Cup third-round clash.

With Liverpool dominating, Riera's trickery opened up the defence on 23 minutes and his shot flew in the corner past goalkeeper Andy Lonergan.

Sean St Ledger looked to have equalised for Preston, but his header was ruled out because of a silly Jon Parkin foul.

Steven Gerrard unselfishly set up Torres in injury-time to seal the win.
