In the same half in which the 25-year-old scored a belter that arguably no keeper would have saved, the Liverpool midfielder made a mistake that was described as “disrespectful” Conor Hourihane and “weird” boss, Arne Slot.

After sprinting and winning the ball ahead of Adam Phillips, Szoboszlai tried to backheel the ball in his own box to Liverpool keeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, but scuffed the ball and left Phillips with a tap-in. It proved inconsequential in the end but was the main talking point post-match.

“I dont think you should do that in an FA Cup or League Cup game, a friendly game or even a training session,” dropped Slot. “Its a weird choice and I have my opinion about it but I prefer to keep that to myself and speak about that with Dom.

Why This Matters

” For Hourihane, there was a sense of anger with the fact that Szoboszlai tried to backheel the ball in the first place. “I was disappointed with our goal because he [Szoboszlai] doesnt do that against Chelsea or Arsenal,” Hourihane told TNT Sports.

Players and coaches will be watching how this unfolds closely.

Key Takeaways

• I dont think he does that in a Premier League game or in a Champions League game so I was a little bit disappointed with that.
• It was a bit of a lack of respect.
• “Delighted for Adam, but disrespectful from their players point of view.

The Bottom Line

“Im sorry for the team again. I made it hard for us with an easy mistake I would say.
