Gary Neville left stunned by Liverpool star’s ‘world-class’ moment: “That was something extraordinary”

Gary Neville was left amazed by a standout moment of brilliance from a Liverpool player during their win over Arsenal this afternoon.

The match at Anfield took a while to catch fire, with both sides appearing cautious and wary of making mistakes. However, the momentum shifted in the final half-hour, as Liverpool gradually took control.

The breakthrough came in the 83rd minute when the Reds were awarded a free kick from 35 yards out. Dominik Szoboszlai stepped up and unleashed a thunderous strike into the top corner, leaving Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya with no chance.

Neville stunned by Szoboszlai’s stunning strike

The match-winner was worthy of deciding such a tense affair between two title contenders, and Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville couldn’t hide his amazement at the quality of the Hungarian’s strike.

“He was already my man of the match before that – he’s been brilliant,” Neville said. “You don’t expect anyone to score from there. Raya had no chance. That’s special. The technique – the swerve, the power, the dip – it’s got everything. It’s a world-class goal, shades of Cristiano Ronaldo.”

A complete performance from Szoboszlai

While his sensational goal stole the spotlight, Szoboszlai’s overall display was just as impressive. Earlier in the second half, he delivered a pinpoint diagonal pass to Florian Wirtz that nearly created a golden opportunity.

According to Sofascore, Szoboszlai completed 49 of 52 passes (92% accuracy), won 75% of his duels, delivered five accurate long balls, and made one key pass. Defensively, he also impressed in an unfamiliar right-back role, recording six clearances, two tackles, and one interception.

After stepping up defensively in last week’s win at Newcastle, Szoboszlai raised the bar even higher today – not just with a standout all-around performance, but with a jaw-dropping free kick that lit up Anfield.

Even Neville, a proud Manchester United loyalist, couldn’t help but applaud – and for good reason.
