The Portuguese, who came off the bench after 66 minutes, stepped up to bend a right-footed strike beyond Liverpool keeper Alisson in the 78th minute to book a last-16 tie for his side against West Ham United.
Leicester City, fancied to go all the way, struck three times in the second half to win 3-1 at Championship side Brentford, while Tammy Abraham's hat-trick gave Chelsea a 3-1 victory at home to second-tier Luton Town at snowy Stamford Bridge to ease some pressure on Frank Lampard.
Burnley won 3-0 away to Fulham while Everton dispatched Sheffield Wednesday by the same score to set up a possible fifth-round clash with Tottenham Hotspur who face Wycombe Wanderers on Monday.
Holders Arsenal bowed out of the FA Cup in the fourth round in disappointing fashion as Gabriel's first-half own goal condemned them to a 1-0 defeat by Southampton on Saturday.
Manchester City also looked to be on the brink of defeat at fourth-tier Cheltenham Town but they scored three times in the last 10 minutes to avoid one of the competition's great shocks.
Southampton and City were joined in the last 16 by top-flight rivals West Ham United who crushed third-tier Doncaster Rovers 4-0, Brighton who beat Blackpool 2-1 and Sheffield United who edged Plymouth Argyle 2-1.
