Dominik Szoboszlai delivered a brilliant performance as Liverpool thrashed Eintracht Frankfurt in their latest Champions League outing.
Liverpool entered the clash on the back of four straight defeats in all competitions — a worrying first for Arne Slot’s tenure, especially given the club’s heavy summer investment aimed at defending their title. While new signing Hugo Ekitike has adapted quickly, several other arrivals have struggled to make an impact. Under pressure to turn things around, Slot made a bold call by leaving Mohamed Salah on the bench.
Former Leeds defender Rasmus Kristensen gave Frankfurt the lead, raising fears of another Liverpool collapse. However, the Reds responded with determination, equalising and ultimately running riot with a 5–1 victory that restored confidence and showcased their attacking depth.
At the heart of it all was Szoboszlai. Starting in midfield, the Hungarian star was immense — dictating play, working tirelessly, and setting up Ibrahima Konaté’s header from a pinpoint corner. Having occasionally filled in at right-back this season due to injuries and rotation, he reminded everyone that his true influence lies in midfield.
The 24-year-old’s energy and creativity shone throughout, and he capped off his outstanding display with a goal in the second half. Liverpool fans were full of praise on social media, calling him “one of the best dead-ball specialists in the world” and a “complete player who can do everything.”
“Szoboszlai looks like he’s gone up a level this season,” wrote one fan. Another added, “Dom Szoboszlai is running the show from midfield.”
While he’s proven capable of filling defensive gaps when needed, it’s clear that Szoboszlai is most effective pulling the strings in midfield — and Liverpool supporters will be hoping more of their squad can match his consistency and drive in the co
ming weeks.
