""I was happy with the goals we scored - they were nice goals. But I think it was a game that was tight for far too long because, at 2-0, and then giving a goal away like that made it difficult until 5-10 minutes before the end. So yeah, good goals but not enough chances from all the ball possession we had. If you come in for half an hour, and you have a goal and an assist and a few other good moments, you can definitely say he [Wirtz] brought something creative to the team and that we needed.""
"Liverpool secured a 4-1 win over Barnsley and a place in the fourth round, in which they will play Brighton, but it was a nervous game until late goals from Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike. Dominik Szoboszlai and Jeremie Frimpong scored stunning goals to put Liverpool 2-0 up, but the Hungarian then gifted a goal to Adam Phillips by attempting a backheel pass to Giorgi Mamardashvili inside his six-yard box."
Liverpool beat Barnsley 4-1 to reach the FA Cup fourth round and will face Brighton. Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike scored late goals after Dominik Szoboszlai and Jeremie Frimpong had put Liverpool 2-0 up. Szoboszlai then gifted Barnsley a goal with a backheel pass to Giorgi Mamardashvili inside the six-yard box. Liverpool have progressed from 14 of their last 15 FA Cup third-round ties since 2011-12. Wirtz became Liverpool's first German FA Cup scorer since 2001 and has three goals in five appearances. The team created too few chances despite heavy possession, leaving the game nervy until late.
