Jeremie Frimpong's smile at full-time said everything. The Dutch wing-back finally had his Anfield moment as Liverpool eased past Barnsley 4-1 to book their place in the FA Cup fourth round.
As reported by SoftFootball , the result continued Liverpool's steady progress in the competition while also delivering a deeply personal milestone for a player who has endured a frustrating start to life on Merseyside due to injury setbacks.
For Frimpong, the night was about more than qualification. With Liverpool currently dealing with defensive absences, including the season-ending injury to Conor Bradley highlighted by SoftFootball, the right-back's growing influence feels timely.
