Christopher Nkunku and Jude Bellingham were left impressed with Dominik Szoboszlai after his stunning goal helped Liverpool progress in the EFL Cup against Leicester City.
For perhaps the umpteenth time this season, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool fell behind, and once again, they fought back with a deserved win.
Everything changed in the second half, with Cody Gakpo levelling the scores, before Dominik Szoboszlai stepped up and scored an absolute banger from outside of the area that had the likes of Chelsea star Christopher Nkunku and Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham impressed on Instagram.
It was like Liverpool’s summer signing had a rocket strapped to his leg, as his pin-point effort riffled into the back of the net.
All of this won’t be a surprise to Liverpool fans because the 22-year-old has been outstanding ever since he stepped foot into Anfield.
The Reds have been crying out for energy, life and attacking bite from the middle of the park, as Dominik Szoboszlai is providing all of that in bucket loads, plus more.

When Szoboszlai posted on his IG about the win over Leicester, in the comments section, Nkunku, who was his ex-teammate at RB Leipzig, simply wrote ‘boom’ added with fire emojis.
Bellingham added: ‘Szobooo’ with a rocket emoji, Darwin Nunez applauded his Liverpool teammate and Wataru Endo wrote ‘what a goal’.
Szoboszlai is already a fan favourite
What an impact and what a player. The Hungary star defines what Jurgen Klopp wants in a player.
Full of energy, dynamism, attacking bite, power on the ball and the ability to suffocate opponents.
Szoboszlai has been a Liverpool player for a short period of time, yet he is already a fan favourite and already a key member of the XI.
