Liverpool 4-1 Barnsley: Reds overcome tenacious Tykes to progress in FA Cup

  • On Monday, Jan. 12, 2026, Liverpool beat Barnsley 4-1 at Anfield, advancing to the FA Cup fourth round and setting up a home tie with Brighton on Feb. 14.
  • Dominik Szoboszlai, Hungarian midfielder, gave Liverpool the lead after eight minutes with a stunning 30-meter strike and then cleared a Phillips shot off the line before setting up Florian Wirtz.
  • Jeremie Frimpong made it 2-0 with a fierce left-foot shot, but Szoboszlai's calamitous backheel five minutes before halftime allowed Adam Phillips to make it 2-1, and Szoboszlai was lucky not to concede a penalty early in the second half.
  • With the match still balanced, Liverpool coach Arne Slot brought on Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitiké and Ibrahima Konaté after an hour; Wirtz scored six minutes from time and Ekitiké sealed it in stoppage time.
  • Despite the league gap, the visitors acquitted themselves admirably as Barnsley challenged Liverpool, while Szoboszlai's stunning strike and calamitous error made him both hero and villain.
