"Bro was on another level today", "An actual monsterclass" - Fans hail Liverpool star after their 6-3 win over Tottenham
Fans have taken to X to gush over midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai's performance in Liverpool's 6-3 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday, December 22. The Hungary international delivered a stellar display as the Reds extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table.
Arne Slot's men almost opened the scoring in the third minute after Spurs goalkeeper Fraser Forster gave the ball away to Mohamed Salah, but the Egyptian sent his effort into the side-netting.
Liverpool kept cranking up the pressure, and they found joy in the 23rd minute as Luis Diaz brilliantly headed home Trent-Alexander Arnold's cross. Alexis Mac Allister doubled the Reds' lead in the 36th minute, heading home a loose ball. James Maddison halved the deficit for Spurs in the 41st minute. However, Szoboszlai restored Liverpool's two-goal lead before the break.
Salah added a fourth for the Reds from point-blank range shortly after the restart. Spurs had no answer to the visitors ruthless' attacking play, with Salah netting a fifth in the 61st minute after being played in by Szoboszlai.
Despite trailing by a heavy scoreline, Spurs continued their attacking style of play, and it paid dividends as Dejan Kulusevski (72') and Dominic Solanke (83') reduced the deficit. However, Spurs' hopes for an unlikely comeback were dashed as Luis Diaz scored the sixth for the Merseyside club five minutes from time. The visitors saw out the remaining minutes to claim an emphatic victory.
While Mohamed Salah won the Man of the Match award, Dominik Szoboszlai also had a brilliant game. The Hungarian midfielder scored a goal and provided an assist.
After the match, fans took to X to wax lyrical about his performance.

Former Premier League player heaps praise on Dominik Szoboszlai after Liverpool's 6-3 win over Spurs
Ex-Premier League player turned pundit Clinton Morrison lauded Dominik Szoboszlai's performance in Liverpool's win over Spurs. Morrison suggested that Szoboszlai had one of his best games in the Reds shirt on Sunday.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live commentary during the game, Morrison said:
''The one-two touches from midfield to the front - I thought Liverpool were outstanding. Dominik Szoboszlai in midfield, one of the best games I have seen. It was a professional performance from Liverpool. In the first half it was breathtaking.''
Szoboszlai moved to Anfield in 2023 from Bundesliga side RB Leipzig. He has scored 10 goals and provided eight assists so far for the Reds.
