A number of Liverpool fans have hit out at Ross Barkley after comments that the Chelsea midfielder made following the teams’ FA Cup clash last night.
The 26-year-old scored the Blues’ second goal in their 2-0 victory over Jurgen Klopp’s side and, speaking on BBC One after the match, the former Everton player said that it was “always a dream to score against Liverpool”, comments that were subsequently shared by @LivEchoLFC on Twitter.

These Reds fans on Twitter mocked Barkley after he said it was “always a dream” to find the net against the Anfield club:
