Dominik Szoboszlai capped off an industrious performance against Sheffield United with a late goal to seal a win against the hosts.

It wasn’t necessarily a game that would have been pleasing on the eye of the neutral but the Hungarian was nonetheless critical to allowing Liverpool a foothold in Yorkshire.

In stats compiled by Sofascore, the former RB Leipzig man recorded 2 key passes and offered a strong defensive performance with 10 out of 17 duels (aerial and ground) won.
