Liverpool attacker Alexis Mac Allister says their FA Cup win at Arsenal was a triumph for their squad depth.
Mac Allister insists the Reds deserved their Third Round win.
"[We are] very happy because we played against a very good team, very tough, but in the end we got the win and that's the most important thing," the Argentina international told liverpoolfc.com.
"We are very happy because, as I say, it was a tough game and maybe in the first half they were better and had some opportunities, but [in the] second half we defended very well and we showed our mentality."
He continued: "[In the] first half we didn't realise that they were doing one-v-one [over] the whole pitch, but in the second half we learned.
"We played some long balls and we put them into Darwin [Nunez] and Lucho in behind and that was very important and they did very well to help the team to attack and score goals."
Mac Allister added: "We know how important they are for us, Virgil, Endo and Mo.
"But we always say that the players behind have to step up and do their job. [Jarell] Quansah did an amazing game.
"So it's something we have to keep proving every single game because we are definitely going to miss them."
