Dominik Szoboszlai produced an incredible error as Liverpool took on Barnsley in the third round of the FA Cup at Anfield. After making it 1-0 with a thunderous long-range strike, the Hungarian produced a wild mistake in front of that Kop that allowed ex-Liverpool youngster Adam Phillips to make it 2-1 five minutes before half-time and gave the League One side hope of pulling off an epic comeback.
TNT Sports co-commentator Ally McCoist reacted: "I'm actually stunned at what I've just seen. I really am. He's officially gone from the sublime to the ridiculous." The [Liverpool](https://www.express.co.uk/latest/liverpool-fc) midfielder tracked back well to stop Phillips latching on to a loose ball and going one-vs-one with goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili. Szoboszlai then carried the ball through his own box but instead of clearing, tried a backheel to Mamardashvili while just six yards out from goal. The goalscorer got it all wrong and gifted possession to Phillips, who gratefully lashed in from close range to halve the deficit.
Szoboszlai had earlier put the hosts in front with a blistering effort from 25 yards that flew past Murphy Cooper in the Barnsley goal. Another brilliant goal, this time from Jeremie Frimpong, doubled Liverpool's lead on 36 minutes.
But in the 40th minute, Szoboszlai's lapse in judgement saw Barnsley get on the scoresheet.
