Szoboszlai, Salah, and Mac Allister Shine in 2-0 Win Over Newcastle | OneFootball

Liverpool 2 – 0 Newcastle – Premier League – Man of the Match

Dominik Szoboszlai

Liverpool FC

Within this first season as the Liverpool head coach, Arne Slot has proven himself to be versatile, brave, ruthless and tactically astute, whereas his adversaries have struggled to maintain the high bar set by the Merseyside giant’s Dutch boss. After a short period where Arsenal failed to make the most of a few recent Liverpool draws, the postmortem of that period points to a perfectly balanced utilization of the Anfield squad by Slot, which allows the Reds to secure the 20th English League title in their illustrious history. The Champions League is still a competition of extreme interest, whereas the EFL Cup final will be played against tonight’s opponents, which made this encounter an even more intriguing prospect.

If Liverpool are to finish top of the table in May, it will be a glorious victory built upon the brilliance of their manager, however, there have been some unbelievable performances delivered by several players within the squad that have driven the team to unprecedented levels of quality. Tonight against a well-coached and formidable Newcastle side, the trio of Mohamed Salah, Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai were sensational and delivered the all-around performances which enabled maximum points.

The opening goal saw the Hungarian skipper, Dominik Szoboszlai, once again on the scoresheet as he started to show patience and intelligence when in the opposition penalty box. Though the well-taken goal will be the moment that secured more replays, it is his bespoke undertaking of the famous number ten position which is enabled stability and coverage behind him, whilst the attack in and around him benefits from his relentless work and pressing.

As a £60m signing from the summer of 2023, the box-to-box midfielder man is looking like a perfect blend between the ferocious Steve Gerrard and the prolific Frank Lampard. This duo could never operate in the same team, though in the current Liverpool number eight, there is a blend of each legend’s best assets which is seeing him solidified as one of his club’s best players.

Another win and a thirteen-point gap make for a fabulous Wednesday evening where Dominik Szoboszlai was the man of the match.

A rest now in the FA Cup weekend is perfect timing to recuperate and start focusing in on the trophies that can and must now be won.
