Dominik Szoboszlai continues to show he is a player who can step up when the going becomes tougher for Liverpool this season The sight of Dominik Szoboszlai seizing up during the closing stages at Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon spoke volumes. After all, this was a game the Liverpool midfielder clearly didn't want to end. "I can't remember the last time I got cramp, but it was bad!" laughed Szoboszlai after the game.
"I said to Ali (Alisson Becker) at the end of the game that I'd rather play against teams like this than those who sit back as there was so much space behind them, especially when we have players like we have who can get in behind. "We know the timing well, so we're going to have so many chances. We got the counter-attacks right as well.
" Small wonder Szoboszlai revelled in the surrounds, scoring one well-taken goal, having a key part in several others and constantly breaking the lines of a Tottenham side that was ultimately fortunate to escape with a 6-3 defeat. But while few opponents will be quite as accommodating as the Londoners this season, the Hungarian's performance - arguably his best in a Liverpool shirt - continued an encouraging trend during his Anfield career. Szoboszlai keeps proving himself a player for the difficult occasion.
There was evidence of that the previous weekend at home to Fulham when, with the Reds reduced to 10 men for the majority of the game following the early sending-off of Andy Robertson, Szoboszlai ran himself into the gro.
