Liverpool have gone 13 points clear at the top of the Premier League table following their 2-0 win over Newcastle United on Wednesday night.

The Reds took the lead inside 12 minutes when Luis Diaz cut the ball back for Dominik Szoboszlai to lash beyond Nick Pope in the box.

Liverpool then made it 2-0 just after the hour mark when Mohamed Salah collected Alexis Mac Allister’s pass and squared it back to him to fire home.

Reds fans, buzzing after taking another decisive step towards the Premier League title, said one of their players delivered his best ever display for the club.

Liverpool fans stunned by Dominik Szoboszlai display against Newcastle

The player in question was Szoboszlai, who delivered a masterclass to help defeat the Magpies.

One fan wrote on X: “Dominik Szoboszlai best game in Liverpool shirt tonight different class.”

Another said: “Might be Szoboszlai best ever game for us. Phenomenal performance especially after the shift he put in vs City!”

The praise kept coming, with one supporter saying: “Szoboszlai played one of his best games in his career tonight. Amazing performance, he was great against Man City as well.”

Another said: “Szoboszlai best game for me! Finally an end product, looking more confident and direct going forward and can’t fault his work rate. Just need Endo to teach everyone how to tackle!”

Another wrote: “Szoboszlai has reached another level for me atm. He is on the periphery of world class atm. If he can sustain this, we are laughing!! Best midfield in the world?”

Liverpool spent £60million for Szoboszlai and it’s already looking like a real bargain. If he keeps this up, he’ll likely be lifting the title and other silverware later this year.

Indeed, Ian Wright recently admitted that he has changed his mind about Szoboszlai.

The pundit says that two months ago he didn’t understand Szoboszlai all that much as a player, but now, he can see that he’s a real star.

“Szoboszlai has had a really good season as well,” Wright said.

“I remember not even, I’d say two months ago I was saying, ‘I can’t see it, I don’t know what he’s doing at the moment. I don’t know what he does right now’.

“But then you look at him now, you see, bro, that’s an eight and a half, isn’t he? He’s brilliant.”
