"Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has landed himself in hot water over his error in the FA Cup against Barnsley. The Hungarian opened the scoring with a belter against the Tykes at Anfield, before gifting the League One side a way back into the tie after a calamitous mistake in front of his own goal. Manager Arne Slot described his failed backheel inside the penalty area as a 'weird incident' admitting he himself would be plotting a quiet word with the 25-year-old."
"The former RB Leipzig star was slammed as disrespectful by Barnsley boss Conor Hourihane, after his error directly led to Adam Phillips' simple tap-in, something which didn't go down well in either camp, in all honesty. I was disappointed with our goal because he [Szoboszlai] doesn't do that against Chelsea or Arsenal, Hourihane told TNT Sports. Yeah, potentially [disrespectful]. I don't think he does that in a Premier League game or in a Champions League game so I was a little bit disappointed with that."
Dominik Szoboszlai opened scoring with a powerful strike before making a calamitous failed backheel inside his own penalty area that allowed League One Barnsley back into the FA Cup tie.

Manager Arne Slot labeled the attempt a 'weird incident' and said he shares an opinion about it but prefers to discuss it privately with Szoboszlai. The match finished 4-1 to Liverpool, but conversation focused on Szoboszlai's mixed evening and the ensuing criticism.
