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.

And when told by a reporter after the match that it was his first goal in nearly seven years, Lucas quickly defended himself.
He said: "Was it that long? I scored last week in training you know!
"It's good to score, I don't score many but it's important to help the team.

"They made it very difficult for us. They are very strong physically & we have a lot of young players but it’s good experience."
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.
