Liverpool bounced back from Saturday’s disappointing defeat to Nottingham Forest to grab a big win in Milan.
The Reds badly needed to show a response following the shock loss against Forest and duly did so, beating AC Milan 3-1.
It was not a win without its problems. Liverpool fell behind early on after Christian Pulisic hit the front for Paulo Fonseca’s side.
However, the Reds came back in impressive fashion. Goals from Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk put the Reds ahead at half-time, before Dominik Szoboszlai killed the game with a third after the break.There were so many good performers throughout the XI for Liverpool and commentating on the game at San Siro, Alan Shearer named his man of the match.

But it wasn’t just in the final third that Szoboszlai impressed against Milan. The Hungary captain really was everywhere.As Milan players tired as the game went on, Szoboszlai continued bursting forward with purpose.
After a bit of an underwhelming end to his first season at Anfield, the onus has been on the Reds No.8 to step up this term.So far, despite a little blip on Saturday, Szoboszlai has been doing that
