After a commanding 3–0 FA Cup victory over Brighton & Hove Albion, Mohamed Salah turned attention away from his own standout performance to spotlight his teammate Dominik Szoboszlai as one of the best footballers on the planet right now.
In the win at Anfield, the Hungarian midfielder was central to Liverpool’s attacking threat, scoring the second goal of the night and helping the Reds advance to the fifth round of the competition. His contribution came after clicking into a more familiar role in midfield, with manager Arne Slot making tactical changes due to injuries in the squad.
Salah was heavily involved too — setting up Szoboszlai’s strike, winning a penalty, and then converting it himself — but chose to single out his colleague when asked about Liverpool’s chances in the cup. The Egyptian forward told TNT Sports that his squad’s success this season could hinge on Szoboszlai’s performances, adding that he believes his team-mate currently ranks among football’s elite.
With the midfielder continuing to influence games at a high level, Salah’s comments underline just how important Szoboszlai has become to Liverpool’s hopes as they look to compete for silverware.
