Liverpool secured a 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest at Anfield with little fuss, maintaining their 100% home record this season.
The starting trio of Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunes and Mo Salah found the back of the net, while Cody Gakpo was ruled out through injury following a VAR review. But perhaps the main architect of today’s result was Dominik Soboslai
He provided two assists and the Kop described it as a “masterclass” performance from Neil Jones.
The Hungarian passed the sight test and his key match stats (via SOFAScore) continue to demonstrate how well he performed. He won four games from midfield and was very effective on the ball, making just one interception. Completed 75 of 81 passes (93% success rate).
Soboslai had one shot, completed three of four dribbles and made a team-high four key passes, including three accurate crosses and three successful long balls. Those numbers were added to the outstanding play he produced in the game leading up to Núñez’s goal, a deep pass causing enough confusion for Matt Turner to easily finish off Salah.
Naturally, Liverpool fans immediately embraced the 22-year-old, who shone again today.
