Liverpool reached the fourth round of the FA Cup after beating Wolves 0-1 in the replay. However, the game was halted in the first minute by floodlight failure.

The broadcast of Wolves' FA Cup replay with Liverpool was quite a memorable one for unusual reasons. 

Liverpool made it through to the fourth round after beating Julen Lopetegui's Wolves 0-1, but that was only half the story

When Wolves were attacking down this near side, Adama Traore dangerously moved towards the Liverpool area. Then, the floodlights went off and the game was halted for around 30 seconds. 

If that were not enough, the pre-match build up on the 'BBC' saw most surreal moment of the night. While Gary Lineker was handing over to Alan Shearer, a porn audio with loud moans was clearly audible on the broadcast. It was later confirmed that someone had taped a phone to the studio as a joke and 'BBC' issued an apology.
