Scotland captain Robertson rifled in a low shot from outside the penalty box 10 minutes into the second half to put Liverpool ahead and then Salah crashed home his enticing cross two minutes later. Curtis Jones added a third for the visitor 16 minutes from time before Hwang Hee-Chan scored a stoppage-time consolation for Wolves. Defender Robertson's only other goal this season came in September when Liverpool beat Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. His leading role in Friday's win was a welcome one after Wolves had humbled Arne Slot's team 2-1 in the Premier League three days ago. "(That was a) bit more like it," Robertson told the BBC. "We know we let ourselves down on Tuesday ... it was up to us to go and put it right. The FA Cup is do or die." The quarterfinals take place on the first weekend in April. The other seven contenders will be decided in matches to be held over the next few days. "We are trying to fight on all fronts," Robertson said. "We are still in two cup competitions. If we play like we did tonight, then nobody wants to play against us. We have to start showing that consistency. It is one step forward and two steps back." ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer
