Liverpool recorded a 1-0 victory over Plymouth in their third round FA Cup replay at Home Park as the Brazilian netted on 18 minutes.
Lucas headed in from Philippe Coutinho's corner to ensure the 293-mile trip south wasn't a wasted one for their travelling fans.
It is in fact 2316 days since he last scored for the Reds in Liverpool's Europa League clash with Steaua Bucharest back in 2010.

Jurgen Klopp was also pleased for the midfielder, adding: "Every week in training we play old versus young and he is a top scorer for old, which is unbelievable."
Liverpool will take on Championship side Wolves at home on January 28 in the next round of the competition.
