"Liverpool overcame a valiant effort from Barnsley to book their place in the FA Cup fourth round with a 3-1 victory at Anfield. The League One side went toe-to-toe with the Premier League champions for much of the game but were undone by three brilliant Liverpool strikes courtsey of Dominik Szoboszlai, Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz, with Hugo Ekitike scoring a fourth in added time."
"Barnsley went in 2-1 behind at half-time after former Reds academy player Adam Phillips capitalise on a shocking Szoboszlai mistake and were controvertially denied a penalty after the break while still just a goal down when the Hungarian brought down the impressive Reyes Cleary, who was named man of the match. But the Reds rode the storm and eventually saw out the win to book a fourth-round tie against Brighton."
"The goal didn't seem to discourage the Tykes from their confident start, with Keillor-Dunn testing Van Dijk again with a nice run and shot which forced a save out of Marmadashvilli. But before long Liverpool were 2-0 up as the visitors were once again reminded of the quality they were up against as Frimpong drove inside before lashing an effort into the back of the net with his left foot."
