Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has come under fire from BOTH managers after his bizarre error gave Barnsley hope in their FA Cup defeat against Liverpool at Anfield. The Merseysiders were leading Barnsley 2-0 and cruising when Szoboszlai tried to backheel the ball to his goalkeeper in front of the Kop. The Hungary international made a mess of it and presented Barnsley midfielder and Liverpool fan Adam Phillips with a tap-in from a yard. Liverpool eventually scored two late goals to run out 4-1 winners but Szoboszlai was criticised by Liverpool manager Arne Slot and also Barnsley's Conor Hourihane. 'I don't think you should do that in an FA Cup game or League Cup, a friendly game or even a training session,' said Slot.
