Dan Burn has admitted he and his Newcastle teammates focused Dominik Szoboszlai when Liverpool visited St. James’ Park final week.
The Reds got here away 3-2 winners due to a late Rio Ngumoha winner deep into stoppage time after the hosts had dragged themselves degree from two targets down.
Szoboszlai, who scored the one aim of the sport when Liverpool defeated Arsenal at Anfield on Sunday, has been deployed at proper again within the absence of the injured Jeremie Frimpong and with Conor Bradley not but totally match following his personal harm.
The Hungarian is predominantly a central midfielder and was subsequently focused by Eddie Howe’s aspect on the north east.
“100%,” Burn replied when requested if the Liverpool No. 8 enjoying out of place was mentioned amongst him and his teammates (Premier League Productions by way of The Boot Room). “It’s not his standard place, it’s one thing you need to have a look at as a weak spot to assault, however he’s executed very well in that place.”
“It’s all the time appeared to be that for Liverpool, whether or not it’s Trent drifting into midfield, he had that lengthy ball he might play, that has actually benefitted them.”
Szoboszlai did a superb job at St. James’ Park and towards Arsenal on the weekend in the identical place.
You might declare that his vitality is missed in the midst of the park however that tireless operating is simply as necessary up and down the precise flank.
The previous RB Leipzig man’s gorgeous free-kick previous David Raya within the second half was the little bit of magic the sport required to interrupt the impasse and he has deserved his back-to-back man of the match awards.
