"Long hair slung back like a villain in a Western, Dominik Szoboszlai is one hell of a player. His stunning free-kick goal had shades of Roberto Carlos, one of the best I have seen in my eighteen years watching football. It was a goal good enough to win most matches, but against state money, it's rarely that simple."
"On the opposite end of the spectrum, his sending off, bringing down Erling Haaland with a handful of seconds to go, has to be one of the dumbest things I have ever seen. One is reminded of Luis Suarez's goal line handball against Ghana in 2010, but at least he stopped a goal, and the result was still in the balance, and it worked. Not similar at all come to think of it..."
Liverpool produced a volatile performance that combined exceptional skill with moments of recklessness. Dominik Szoboszlai produced a spectacular free-kick reminiscent of Roberto Carlos that shifted momentum, but he was later sent off for hauling down Erling Haaland in the closing seconds. Liverpool's high press forced Manchester City into uncomfortable moments for about half an hour, creating energy and turnover opportunities. Momentum swings and passive phases allowed City to regroup and hit back. Squad depth concerns are now more acute with the loss of a top performer for upcoming matches.
