"Barnsley gave their hosts a scare after just 28 seconds when Davis Keillor-Dunn thumped a header against the right post. But Liverpool took the lead nine minutes in after Szoboszlai was left unmarked and lifted a spectacular long-range strike into the back of the net. Jonathan Bland forced Giorgi Mamardashvili into a smart stop shortly before Jeremie Frimpong cut inside from the right to curl a brilliant strike into the roof of the net 36 minutes in."
"Liverpool upped the pressure after the break, but Barnsley felt they should have had a penalty after Szoboszlai appeared to clip Reyes Cleary in the box, but it was waved away. Wirtz then blazed over at the other end but made amends 84 minutes in, bending in a lovely strike past Murphy Cooper, before teeing up Ekitike for a first-time finish in the fourth minute of stoppage time."
Liverpool advanced to the FA Cup fourth round with a 4-1 win over Barnsley at Anfield. Barnsley threatened within 30 seconds when Davis Keillor-Dunn hit the post. Dominik Szoboszlai opened the scoring with a spectacular long-range strike but then made a backheel error that allowed Adam Phillips a close-range tap-in. Liverpool pressed after the break and survived a waved-away penalty appeal by Barnsley. Florian Wirtz scored in the 84th minute and Hugo Ekitike finished in stoppage time to seal the victory. Data notes record Szoboszlai as the first player since Alexis Mac Allister to score and commit an error leading to a goal in the same match.
