Premier League: 10 talking points from the weekendâs action
Benjamin Sesko lacks sharpness, VAR spoils Josh Kingâs day and Sunderland have a man for the big moments It was always going to be a tight match but in the end it took a moment of genius from Dominik Szoboszlai to settle it in Liverpoolâs favour. The Hungarian is an attacking midfielder by trade but since Jeremie Frimpongâs injury Arne Slot has found a new role for him at right-back. Szoboszlai had clearly learned some free-kick technique from Trent Alexander-Arnold over the years but his ability in the alien position was almost more impressive. He had almost no problems with Gabriel Martinelli and he quickly adapted to Eberechi Eze, who was a greater threat than the man he replaced, but Szoboszlai remained calm and collected throughout. He was able to defend well and also produced some stunning passes, distributing long and short, changing the dynamic of the match as Alexander-Arnold used to. The victory over Arsenal will be remembered for a split second of quality but Szoboszlai should take great credit for how he has adapted to help Slot and his teammates.
