What happened. Dominik Szoboszlai responded to criticism of his performance against Fulham by scoring a goal-of-the-season contender in Liverpool's 3-1 win over Tottenham. He celebrated by putting his finger in his ear, which he said was 'just for myself'.
- Szoboszlai said the goal was for those always next to him and that players can have bad games.
- He claimed he was unaware of any criticism, saying 'I didn't know, I didn't see'.
- He has played multiple positions this season, with manager Andoni Iraola wanting one No 6, one No 8 and one No 10.
“We are also humans so we can have bad games, we can have bad days”
— Dominik Szoboszlai
Szoboszlai will look to build on his performance when Liverpool face Bournemouth on Sunday.
