ο»ΏDominik Szoboszlai, a Liverpool midfielder, scored an outrageous goal on Wednesday night in a 2-1 victory over Leicester, and Jude Bellingham was among the many who praised him online for it.
The Hungarian’s thunderbolt from outside the penalty area to put the Reds ahead in the second half of the Carabao Cup match at Anfield will live in infamy.
After the game, the 22-year-old posted a photo of himself on Instagram praising his miracle striker and the caption “B A N G!” with the letters and exclamation mark spread apart.
Bellingham, Fabrizio Romano, and Chelsea striker Christopher Nkunku have all spoken highly of Szoboszlai, joining the chorus of Liverpool supporters and players who have spoken highly of him.
The Real Madrid and England midfielder commented “Szoboooo” and a rocket emoji after the game-winning goal.
Bellingham, not Szoboszlai, could have easily been Liverpool’s number 8 this season, scoring hat tricks in front of the Kop to the delight of the home fans.
Anfield officials might not have spent Β£60 million on the Hungarian if the Reds had been able to sign the 20-year-old, who instead signed with Real Madrid in the summer for a transfer that could amount to Β£115 million after add-ons.
Six goals in seven games is three times as many as the 22-year-old has scored in eight games for LFC (Transfermarkt), and the Englishman has had a sensational start to life at the Bernabeu.
Bellingham’s gushing over the Hungary captain’s goal says it all about how special of a moment it was, so we can rest easy knowing that we didn’t miss out on anything by not seeing him play for Liverpool.
