Jude Bellingham’s Heartfelt Praise for Dominik Szoboszlai’s Spectacular Liverpool Strike Against Leicester
In a thrilling Carabao Cup third-round clash, Liverpool staged a remarkable comeback to defeat Championship side Leicester 3-1. The game witnessed Kasey McAteer giving Leicester an early lead, swiftly answered by Cody Gakpo’s well-executed finish for Liverpool in the second half. However, the moment that stole the show was Dominik Szoboszlai’s wonder strike after being brought on as a second-half substitute. His unstoppable shot from distance, which hit the crossbar before finding the net, left fans in awe. Diogo Jota’s casual flick sealed the win, but Szoboszlai’s goal was undoubtedly the highlight of the match.
Liverpool supporters have warmly embraced Szoboszlai since his summer transfer from RB Leipzig. Among his admirers is Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham, who was once a Liverpool target before his transfer to Los Blancos. After Szoboszlai shared a series of goal celebration photos on Instagram, Bellingham left a comment saying, “Szobooo,” along with a rocket emoji.
Szoboszlai himself expressed his thoughts on the goal, calling it “very special” and acknowledging that it ranks among the best he’s ever scored. He stated, “I don’t know if it was the best goal; I scored one of my best in the national team and also in Salzburg. But one of the best for sure.”
Liverpool’s manager, Jurgen Klopp, also had high praise for the Hungarian international. Klopp emphasized Szoboszlai’s impressive skills and the fact that he doesn’t need instructions to shoot, highlighting his natural talent. Klopp remarked, “Since the first minute of training, he has been impressive. He is a top bloke, a really top guy. I don’t have to tell him to shoot; he knows better than I – he’s really good. [It was a] super goal.”
