With FOUR key passes, Dominik Szoboszlai created an ‘unstoppable’ performance

A year ago, the Reds hardly matched the caliber of play that has become the norm under the guidance of Jurgen Klopp. However, following a series of noteworthy acquisitions in the summer, they have significantly improved.

Although the Reds will face more difficult challenges in the future, the German manager will have been pleased with the sustained performances of several of their star players, most notably Dominik Szoboszlai’s creative masterclass.

Liverpool failed to surpass Matt Turner’s goal until the half-hour mark. Turner, a Uruguayan, added the game’s first goal shortly thereafter, after Diogo Jota collected a ricochet from Darwin Nunez’s attempt.

Mohamed Salah continued his outstanding start to the season with a deftly placed goal after halftime, but Liverpool dominated the remainder of the match and cruised to an easy victory to maintain their momentum.

Positive developments were centered on Szoboszlai, who has been sensational since joining from RB Leipzig for £60 million in July, assisting Jota and Salah on their respective goals.

He concluded with 106 touches, which ranked third among all players, in addition to two assists.

Liverpool’s commanding performance throughout the victory was reflected in his 93 percent passing accuracy, and after having the privilege of observing him do what he does best, the Reds were gushing with acclaim…

Also, he has four opportunities created, three-quarters successful dribbles, twelve recoveries, and four duels won.

It’s not surprising that talent evaluator Jacek Kulig dubbed him the “Hungarian artist” on account of his inventiveness and flawless execution—his performance was a mesmerizing display of command and assurance.

His two goals and two assists for the season bring his total for all competitions to two. However, the 23-year-old’s caliber extends far beyond direct contributions; his astute defensive play, progressive surges, and accurate passing were all on display against Forest.

Regrettably, the trees on Merseyside presented less of a challenge for Steve Cooper, and Szoboszlai played a pivotal role in suppressing any attacking threat the visitors could muster.
