Dominik Szoboszlai Claims Liverpool Goal of the Month for October

Dominik Szoboszlai’s thunderous strike against Eintracht Frankfurt has been voted Liverpool’s Goal of the Month for October, adding to what has been a standout period for the Hungarian midfielder. The 24-year-old’s long-range effort capped a dazzling Champions League display as Liverpool triumphed 5-1 in Germany, underlining his growing influence under Arne Slot.

Double Honour for Szoboszlai

The recognition marks a double success for Szoboszlai, who also collected the Standard Chartered Men’s Player of the Month award. His winning goal was the type that defines elite-level play, combining vision, precision and confidence. Picking up possession from distance, he unleashed a perfectly struck low shot that curled beyond the Frankfurt goalkeeper and into the bottom corner.

It was the sort of moment Liverpool supporters have come to expect from Szoboszlai since his move from RB Leipzig. His technique and power continue to make him one of the Premier League’s most watchable midfielders.

Poll Results Reflect Fan Admiration

Liverpool’s official poll saw Szoboszlai’s goal finish top ahead of Mohamed Salah’s dramatic late strike at Brentford. Hugo Ekitike’s counter-attacking goal in Frankfurt claimed third, while Cody Gakpo’s composed finish against Chelsea took fourth. Rounding out the top five was Cornelia Kapocs, whose Kop-end strike against Manchester City in the Barclays Women’s Super League captured fan attention.

The results showcase not only Szoboszlai’s impact but also the attacking variety across Slot’s Liverpool side. With goals coming from all areas of the pitch, the Reds have rediscovered their attacking fluency after last season’s rebuild.

Rising Influence Under Arne Slot

Since Arne Slot’s arrival in the summer of 2024, Liverpool’s midfield balance has evolved, allowing players like Szoboszlai to express themselves more freely. His energy, creativity and tactical awareness have been pivotal in helping the Premier League champions maintain momentum both domestically and in Europe.

The Hungarian’s ability to dictate tempo and deliver from range has become one of Liverpool’s most valuable weapons. Slot’s approach, blending technical discipline with freedom in transition, appears to suit Szoboszlai perfectly.

Continuing Momentum into the Season Ahead

With crucial fixtures ahead in the Premier League and Champions League, Szoboszlai’s form could prove decisive. His recent performances have reaffirmed his reputation as a player who can deliver on the biggest stages, while also connecting with supporters through sheer determination and flair.

As Liverpool continue to chase silverware on multiple fronts, Szoboszlai’s confidence in front of goal and his growing leadership in midfield suggest there is more to come. His October award feels less like a highlight and more like a sign of what’s ahead for one of Europe’s most complete midfielders.
