That’s all from me. Congratulations to both sides for an excellent cup tie. Liverpool are through to face Brighton, and Barnsley leave Anfield with their heads very high, and possibly dreaming of what might have been.

Thanks for reading and for your emails. Bye!

Conor Hourihane, Barnsley manager, is next to speak:

I thought we were outstanding. We got a bit tired at the end but started so well, stuck in it at 2-1. They brought on top player after top player. I thought we were brilliant.

I was disappointed with Szoboszlai [for the backheel in front of his own goal]. I don’t think he does that in a Premier League game, or a Champions League game.

I felt like [Szoboszlai’s tackle on Cleary] was a penalty. A big decision that went against us.
