Dominik Szoboszlai Nets Brilliant Free-Kick for Liverpool Against Manchester City
Dominik Szoboszlai has delivered an impressive free-kick to give Liverpool a well-deserved advantage at Anfield over Manchester City.
Arne Slot’s squad dominated much of the second half, yet struggled to convert their chances into goals.
When Liverpool earned a free-kick, it was Szoboszlai, the Hungarian midfielder, who confidently stepped forward.
True to his form this season, Szoboszlai unleashed a powerful strike that soared into the top right corner of the net.
Gianluigi Donnarumma was left helpless as he watched the ball sail past him.

Emerging Set-Piece Authority for Liverpool
This piece of brilliance is no shock to the supporters at Anfield, who have witnessed Szoboszlai transform into one of Europe’s most lethal free-kick specialists this season.
His highlight reel this 2025/26 season is already filled with stunning set-piece goals.
Fans remember his spectacular strike against Arsenal in August, which secured a crucial 1-0 win against David Raya.
In January, he replicated this in the Champions League with a vital free-kick against Marseille and added another memorable goal against Bournemouth.
With Trent Alexander-Arnold no longer at the club, Szoboszlai has taken on the role of Liverpool’s primary set-piece taker, demonstrating his ability to influence major matches with his right foot.
Szoboszlai’s prowess goes beyond just free-kicks; he has been one of Liverpool’s standout players this season.
The 25-year-old midfielder has often been the first name on Arne Slot’s list, showcasing versatility by filling various positions including attacking midfield and even right-back during times of injury.
His relentless energy, creative spark, and leadership qualities have fueled Liverpool’s pursuit of the title. Slot regularly commends Szoboszlai’s “incredible” work ethic and mentality, stating he embodies the high-intensity approach he favors.
Whether he is pressing opponents deep in his own half or scoring spectacular goals, Szoboszlai is enjoying the best form of his career.
