Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch shared a Pep Guardiola joke after the 2-0 win over Man City on Sunday evening.

Liverpool opened the scoring in the 14th minute with a well-executed set-piece routine, an uncommon feat for a side that had managed only three goals from such situations all season.

Alexis Mac Allister delivered a precise pass to Dominik Szoboszlai at the near post, who cleverly set up Mohamed Salah.

The Egyptian’s shot took a deflection on its way into the net, marking his 30th goal of the campaign and moving him level with Gordon Hodgson as Liverpool’s third-highest scorer in history.

Trent Alexander-Arnold launched a perfectly weighted pass to Salah on the right wing.

The forward surged forward before delivering a pinpoint cutback to Szoboszlai, who calmly finished with his left foot past Ederson.

The Hungarian took another step in dispelling any concerns about his goal contributions as an attacking player – with a goal and an assist against the reigning Champions.

Meanwhile, Ryan Gravenberch showed renewed vigor after a middling few performances vs Everton and Aston Villa.

Of course, it goes to show just how high his standards have grown this season that we can now say that.

And after the game, the pair shared an inside joke about how Pep Guardiola pronounced their names back in November 2023, referring to them as “Szvolazi and Gravener”.

And the midfield duo have not forgotten about it, commenting on each other’s Instagram posts on Sunday night:

With Szoboszlai stepping up in decisive moments and Gravenberch anchoring the midfield, both players are proving indispensable as Liverpool edge closer to reclaiming Premier League glory.

And it’s nice to know that the pair’s off-pitch chemistry is just as evident on the pitch as well.
