"Szoboszlai has been one of Liverpool's top three performers this season, and a strong case can be made that he's neither number 2 nor 3. His composure and world-class technical ability were simply too much for the lackluster Brighton defense throughout the match. In the 35th minute, he demonstrated his dead-ball expertise by whipping in a perfect cross from the left flank to Cody Gakpo, who headed home-only for the goal to be disallowed, albeit late, for offside."
"This wasn't your typical Liverpool team the supporters are growing accustomed to seeing this season. And that's a good thing. While a Premier League title is well out of reach, Slot's side looks poised to go deep in the FA Cup if they can build on this performance and carry this momentum throughout the rest of the season. Though Brighton outshot Liverpool 17-13, the shots were rarely threatening and Becker was required to only make 3 saves."
Liverpool delivered a 3-0 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion at Anfield to advance to the FA Cup fifth round. The performance differed from Liverpool's recent displays, with renewed cohesion and effective attacking play. Brighton outshot Liverpool 17-13, but most attempts lacked threat and goalkeeper Becker made only three saves. Dominik Szoboszlai produced a standout performance, demonstrating passing range, dead-ball expertise, and scoring after a Salah assist. Szoboszlai's cross and long-ball combinations repeatedly pierced Brighton's defense. The result highlighted Liverpool's squad depth and quality, suggesting the team could progress deep into the FA Cup if they maintain momentum.
