Liverpool knocked out of the FA Cup by lowly BarnsleySeven-time FA Cup champion Liverpool was knocked out of the competition on Saturday in a shocking 2-1 loss to lower-league club Barnsley.

Brian Howard scored the winner in the 90th minute of the fifth-round match at Anfield that put Barnsley in the quarterfinals. Dirk Kuyt had put the Reds ahead, before Stephen Foster equalized for Barnsley, which is mid-table in the second-tier League Championship.

The Reds brought on England midfielder Steven Gerrard, but couldn’t score largely due to a standout performance from goalkeeper Luke Steele, who was making his debut for Barnsley after moving to the club last week on loan.

Barnsley has won the FA Cup once - in 1912 - and was runner-up two years before that.
