Dominik Szoboszlai leaves Gary Neville stunned

Even though Szoboszlai was Liverpool's only player who was used outside of his natural position, he was their best player by a country mile.

If fans didn't know that the Hungarian was a world-class midfielder, he wouldn't have looked out of place at right-back on Sunday.

Admittedly, his positioning was far from ideal with his defensive position being the cause of City's winner.

Despite this, his work rate, ability to tackle his opponents off the ball and his keen eye for a pass all make him a decent full-back.

His goal-scoring ability is also fairly solid with Neville sharing his thoughts on the midfielder's free-kick.

"I didn't think it would be as special as that! What a hit that was by Dominik Szoboszlai," he said on Sky Sports.

"Every time I watch Liverpool, he seems to be their best player. Liverpool got on top and Pep Guardiola slumped in his chair.

"He knew what was coming - he has seen it so many times before."
