“Ability Meets Stamina” – Journalist Wowed by 90-pass Dominik Szoboszlai Who Won 7 Duels in Liverpool Win vs Spurs
Henry Winter lavished praise on a ‘superb’ Liverpool player after the Reds secured their spot in yet another Carabao Cup final with a dominant display on Thursday night.
Having trailed 1-0 from the first leg of their semi-final against Tottenham, Arne Slot’s team responded emphatically, netting four unanswered goals in a stunning performance at Anfield.
Cody Gakpo, Mo Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Virgil van Dijk all found the net as Spurs were comprehensively outplayed. The Hungarian midfielder, in particular, caught the attention of the esteemed football journalist.
As the match neared its conclusion, Winter took to X to highlight Liverpool’s number 8, praising not only his goal—one that saw Ibrahima Konaté commend Conor Bradley for the quality of his assist—but also his overall performance on the night.
The journalist posted: “Anfield South beckons Liverpool. Again. Dominik Szoboszlai deserves that. Superb all game in and out of possession. Ability meets stamina.”
Szoboszlai saw a first-half goal disallowed for offside, but he eventually got his reward later in the match, playing a key role in dismantling Tottenham.
Szoboszlai Shines Against Tottenham Once Again
Winter’s admiration for the Hungary international is well deserved, as the 24-year-old’s match statistics highlight just how exceptional his performance was.
According to Sofascore, the midfielder completed 36 of his 40 passes with a 90% accuracy rate, won seven duels, took five shots, made three tackles, and delivered five key passes, four accurate crosses, and three precise long balls.
Beyond the numbers, Liverpool Echo journalist Ian Doyle observed that Szoboszlai ‘covered plenty of ground’ throughout the match and ‘led the press’ in the second half, particularly when Spurs started to apply pressure.
The Hungarian had already impressed against Tottenham in December, scoring and assisting in Liverpool’s 6-3 victory. Once again, he delivered a standout display against Ange Postecoglou’s side, with Winter’s praise likely to be echoed by every Reds supporter.
