THIS WAS A MATCH-AND-A-HALF LAST NIGHT, WITH THE LIVERPOOL SQUAD ON TIPPETY-TOP FORM AGAIN, AND A ROBUST, WELL-ORGANISED AND ENERGETIC BARNSLEY TRYING THEIR VERY BEST TO BEAT THEM! LIVERPOOL HAD 19 SHOTS, WITH 7 ON-TARGET, (75% POSSESSION) INCLUDING 4 CRACKERS FROM DOMINIK SZOBOSZLAI AT 9 MINS., JEREMIE FRIMPONG AT 36 MINS., FLORIAN WIRTZ AT 84 MINS., AND A FRESH-LEGGED HUGO EKITIKE AT 90 +4 MINS., ALL REACHING-THE-BACK-OF-THE-NET! BARNSLEY HAD 9 SHOTS WITH 3 ON-TARGET, INCLUDING A CRACKER FROM ADAM PHILLIPS, WHO WAS RIGHT BEHIND DOMINIK SZOBOSZLAI WHEN HE ATTEMPTED A BACK-HEEL, (WHICH FAILED DISMALLY), ONLY FOR PHILLIPS TO NICK THE BALL QUICK-SHARP AND FIRE IT HOME, MEANING THAT THE MATCH CULMINATED IN A 4 – 1 DRAW (AND WITH LIVERPOOL SURELY THINKING THEY ARE WORTHY ADVERSARIES!)

BARNSLEY BOSS CONOR HOURIHANE SPEAKS AFTER THE MATCH
UH-OH – ARNE SLOT SAID HE IS GOING TO HAVE WORDS WITH DOMINIK SZOBOSZLAI FOR HIS UNFORTUNATE BACK-HEEL DURING THE MATCH! (A.K.A. GIVE HIM THE HAIRDRYER TREATMENT!) YIKES! 😒
