Dominik Szoboszlai produced a sublime goal and a ridiculous error as Liverpool beat third-tier Barnsley 4-1 on Monday to reach the FA Cup fourth round.
The Hungarian opened the scoring with a long-range effort (9th min) before Jeremie Frimpong doubled the lead (36th).
But Szoboszlai gifted Barnsley a route back into the tie when he fluffed a backheel inside his own box and Adam Phillips gratefully smashed home (40th).
“I don’t think you should do that in a FA Cup game, or a League Cup game, or in a friendly, or in a training session. It was a weird choice,” said Slot. The Reds scored twice after that via Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike to win the game.
