The beating heart of Liverpool’s midfield?
The credit for the final goal of the game has to surely go to Darwin Nunez after some remarkable determination to win back possession.
That said, Szoboszlai’s ongoing brilliance in the middle of the park has singled him out as perhaps the most reliable operator in the middle of the park.
What an impact the 23-year-old has made on this Liverpool side following his transfer away from the Bundesliga!
