Liverpool eased to a 4-1 win over third-tier Barnsley to reach the FA Cup fourth round on Monday night and will next face Brighton an Anfield next month.
Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz were called upon to swing the tie with minutes to go after the Reds produced a disappointing performance against the League One side.
As per Opta’s Michael Reid, they became the first pair of substitutes in the Liverpool history to both assist each other after coming on in the same match.
This is an incredible record to beat for two summer signings, especially two who have been ridiculed since their arrival on Merseyside from the Bundesliga.
It is now four goals set up between the pair this season, a number which is the highest within the Liverpool squad which will impress manager Arne Slot who is very likely to start the pair this weekend once more.
Ekitike’s goal took his total for the season so far to 11 goals and three assists, numbers that fellow summer addition Alexander Isak is unlikely to come close to thanks to his latest injury.
Liverpool’s new dynamic duo look to be bonding well on the pitch and will now seek to continue their form in crucial games against Burnley, Newcastle United, Manchester City, Bournemouth, and Marseille in the coming weeks.
