Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai shocks fans with new look for Wolves game

Dominik Szoboszlai has divided fans as he debuted a bold new look for Liverpool’s clash with Wolves on Tuesday night.

The talismanic Liverpool midfielder, known for his slicked-back hairstyle, rocked up to Molineux with cornrows, resemblant of David Beckham’s trim of 2003.

It may explain why the Hungarian has been letting his hair grow out in recent months, having spent much of his early career with a short-back-and-sides haircut.

While some supporters questioned the change of appearance, other fans were in favour of the new style with one writing on X: “He looks like a viking.”

Szoboszlai has been one of Liverpool’s standout performers of a difficult campaign, scoring 10 goals and creating eight.

He has also been operated in an array of positions, standing in capably at right-back with Arne Slot’s options becoming very limited by injuries to the likes of Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley.

But playing in his preferred attacking midfield role against the Premier League’s bottom club, he struggled to control the tempo in the first half with Wolves’ middle pairing of Angel Gomes and Andre frustrating the Reds.

Liverpool went into half-time with the game goalless, having not been able to create any real clear-cut chances.

The Reds are hoping to avoid becoming the latest team to be stunned by relegation-doomed Wolves, who have taken points off Arsenal and Aston Villa in their last two games.
