Ibrahima Konate relishing challenge of chasing four trophies after Liverpool defender impressed in FA Cup victory over Arsenal

Ibrahima Konate said Liverpool were enjoying the challenge of chasing four trophies after his impressive display in the FA Cup victory over Arsenal.

Liverpool continue to battle on four fronts after Jakub Kiwior's own goal and a stoppage-time strike by Luis Diaz sent them through to the FA Cup fourth round with a 2-0 win at Arsenal.

Jurgen Klopp's side were without captain Virgil van Dijk and Mohamad Salah, but after they were able to ride their luck in north London, stand-in skipper Trent Alexander-Arnold's excellent late cross forced the opener and Diaz was able to wrap up a hard-fought victory with a powerful late finish.

Jurgen Klopp's side went close to a quadruple in 2022. 

The Reds won the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup but just missed out on the Premier League and Champions League.

Konate told the BBC: 'Yes, I am really happy but I think the man of the match was all of the team. I am very happy. We go through to the next round. 

'Yes, of course [I'm happy with the way the season is going]. It's hard to play a lot of games but we love it. We did it two years ago, we won two cups. I hope this season is different [win more]. Fingers crossed.'

Klopp praised Konate after his man of the match display.

He added: 'The new partner did really well as well. Joe Gomez, come on. 

'It was really tough. So many good things happened today. 

'It's really important that you get these kind of different results. You're still in the game and you can step up in the second half.'
