Unimpressed Arne Slot Confirms Talks with Dominik Szoboszlai After 'Sloppy' Liverpool Error

Liverpool coach Arne Slot will address Dominik Szoboszlai’s risky backheel error that allowed Barnsley to score during a 4-1 FA Cup win at Anfield.

  • On Monday at Anfield, Liverpool FC secured a 4-1 FA Cup victory over Barnsley AFC, while Dominik Szoboszlai's backheel error led to a Barnsley goal and Conor Hourihane said it disrespected his side.
  • Hourihane said the criticism stemmed from Liverpool FC being 2-0 up when Dominik Szoboszlai's mistake gave Barnsley AFC a lifeline, highlighting recurring sloppy goals conceded while leading.
  • Szoboszlai chased back into his own penalty area and attempted a backheel pass to goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili instead of clearing, allowing Adam Phillips to tap in just before half-time in front of the Kop.
  • Late on, substitutes Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike scored late to make the scoreline convincing, with Wirtz netting in the 84th minute and Ekitike adding a fourth in added time.
  • The wider picture showed Arne Slot, Liverpool head coach, praising Barnsley AFC's resilience, saying `They can be proud of themselves and how difficult they made it for us`; Conor Hourihane, Barnsley head coach, told TNT Sports, `At the time I thought it was a stonewall penalty`.
