Liverpool 4-1 Barnsley, FA Cup 2025-26: Szoboszlai Sparks Reds Past League One Opponents

Liverpool eased into the FA Cup fourth round with a 4-1 win over Barnsley at Anfield on Monday. The Reds struck first in the ninth minute when Dominik Szoboszlai unleashed a thunderous strike from distance. Jeremie Frimpong doubled the lead in the 36th minute, cutting inside from the right to fire past the goalkeeper. Barnsley were handed a lifeline when Adam Phillips capitalised on a defensive lapse by Szoboszlai to score in the 40th minute. Liverpool regained control after the break, and Florian Wirtz curled in a superb effort in the 84th minute before Hugo Ekitike tapped in a fourth in stoppage time.
