HUNGARIAN attacking midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai stood out in Liverpool’s 4-1 win at home to Ipswich on Saturday.
The 24-year-old scored the opening goal and helped produce another with a display of great quality and hard work from a central attacking position.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot believes Szoboszlai does not always get the credit he deserves for the work he puts in for the team, but in games like this, the attacking highlights make the defensive work rate more evident.
