(Video) Different angle of Dominik Szoboszlai’s free kick makes it look even more incredible

Dominik Szoboszlai stakes early claim for 2025/26 Premier League Goal of the Season with stunning free kick in Liverpool’s win over Arsenal

Dominik Szoboszlai delivered a potential Goal of the Season contender during Liverpool’s 1-0 victory over Arsenal on Sunday, unleashing a sensational free kick that secured the three points at Anfield.

The match had been uneventful for over an hour, but Liverpool sprang to life — and it was Szoboszlai, playing out of position at right-back, who provided the breakthrough. The 24-year-old unleashed a thunderous strike from nearly 35 yards, leaving Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya with no chance. It was a moment of brilliance that drew comparisons to Cristiano Ronaldo, with pundit Gary Neville hailing it as “world-class.”

One of this season’s new features — the referee’s body cam, or “Refcam” — captured a breathtaking angle of the goal. From referee Chris Kavanagh’s vantage point facing the Kop, fans were treated to a perfect view of Szoboszlai’s curling effort as it soared over the wall and dipped into the net.

That strike marked Szoboszlai’s 16th goal for Liverpool and his first direct free kick goal for the club, according to Transfermarkt. Despite speculation that summer signing Florian Wirtz might limit his minutes, Szoboszlai has started all four competitive games in August — even excelling at right-back in recent matches against Newcastle and Arsenal.

His performances have earned him praise from head coach Arne Slot, and he’s quickly becoming one of Liverpool’s standout players in the early stages of the season. While it’s still early days, Szoboszlai looks set to play a crucial role in the Reds’ campaign.

Big goals in big games are often remembered for years — and this wonder strike is one fans at Anfield won’t forget anytime soon.
