ReactionDominik Szoboszlai: We are believing

The Hungary captain played a leading role in Sunday’s Premier League success in north London, including dispatching the Reds’ third goal on the stroke of half-time.

Szoboszlai also had a hand in the creation of several other goals as Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah each netted twice and Alexis Mac Allister also scored.

The result - a 21st win in 25 matches under Arne Slot - gave Liverpool a four-point advantage at the top of the Premier League with a game in hand.

“Probably actually no-one expected him, us to start so well - but he is believing in the team, we are believing in him,” said Szoboszlai post-match.

“We need the whole squad, that has showed many times. It doesn’t matter who plays, we give our best on the pitch: Champions League, cups and in the Premier League as well. That’s why we are top of the table and top of the Champions League.”

Next up for Liverpool is an Anfield clash with Leicester City on Boxing Day, before their 2024 schedule concludes with a trip to West Ham United.

And Szoboszlai insisted there is still plenty that Slot’s men must - and want to - do as they chase their ambitions this season.

“I think everybody is dreaming of this situation, but we see many times teams who are in front of other teams, and there is still six months to go,” said the No.8.

“We are looking at the table a little bit but also we are just taking care of ourselves, getting our points. Still one more game [in hand] to go in front of the other teams, we want to be as much in front as we could [be].”
