Yesterday’s performance against Ipswich was a masterclass from Szoboszlai. His stats paint the picture of a player in total control: • Goals: 1 • Accurate Passes: 32/35 • Chances Created: 1 • Accurate Long Balls: 2/2 • Recoveries: 3 • Aerials Won: 1/1
His ability to impact the game in so many areas highlights why he’s become so pivotal. That goal contribution wasn’t just a moment of brilliance; it was the culmination of a complete performance where every touch had purpose.
Szoboszlai’s season is shaping up to be something special. After his contribution yesterday, he’s now involved in 9 goal contributions across all competitions. This includes: • 4 goals • 5 assists • 1,929 minutes played
These aren’t just numbers; they’re evidence of a player who’s grown into his role. Whether it’s the Premier League, Champions League, or domestic cups, Szoboszlai has shown up, bringing creativity, precision, and an almost tireless desire to win.

His relentless work rate hasn’t gone unnoticed. Arne Slot, a respected voice in football, summed it up perfectly:
“He doesn’t always get the credits for the fact that he’s very important for this team because his work rate is unbelievable! He just keeps on running with the highest intensity and that is so important for a team that wants to compete for something.”
These words perfectly encapsulate Szoboszlai’s transformation into a driving force. His effort off the ball, combined with his technical abilities, makes him indispensable.
What makes Szoboszlai so exciting now is how regularly he’s delivering. While his technical brilliance has never been in doubt, his ability to repeat these performances week in and week out is what’s taking him to another level.
His Ipswich performance wasn’t a one-off—it’s part of a broader trend where he’s becoming the player his team can always count on. It’s in the subtle things: those clever movements, that striking ability the defensive recoveries, and the way he reads the game. Everything suggests a player entering his prime.
If Szoboszlai can maintain this consistency, the sky’s the limit. As the season progresses, his contributions are becoming increasingly decisive. The combination of his technical brilliance and his unmatched intensity is something every team in Europe would dream of.
With nine goal contributions already, there’s no telling how far Szoboszlai can go this season. The consistency is here, the quality never left—and the future? It looks like it belongs to Dominik Szoboszlai
