Liverpool manager Arne Slot has indicated his intention to discuss Dominik Szoboszlai’s mistake against Barnsley. The Hungarian player had a mixed performance at Anfield, initially scoring a spectacular goal to put Liverpool in the lead before Jeremie Frimpong extended their advantage with another impressive goal.
However, Szoboszlai’s night took a turn for the worse when he made a costly error, allowing Barnsley to capitalize and score. Despite this setback, Liverpool managed to secure the win with late goals from Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike.
Slot expressed his dissatisfaction with Szoboszlai’s error, labeling it as ‘disrespectful,’ a sentiment echoed by Barnsley manager Conor Hourihane. In response, Szoboszlai apologized to his teammates, acknowledging his mistake and emphasizing the need to move forward.
Although Szoboszlai was pleased with his goal, describing it as a spontaneous decision that paid off, the focus remained on his costly error. The incident sparked debate over the appropriateness of his actions, with Hourihane expressing disappointment and questioning the behavior in high-stakes games such as those against top Premier League teams or in Champions League fixtures.
Following their victory, Liverpool is set to face Brighton in the next round. Additionally, Sky has announced a discounted TV and Sky Sports bundle for the upcoming season, offering extensive coverage of live matches across various sports leagues.
