Dominik Szoboszlai has been named Liverpool’s Goal of the Month for January after his long-range strike in the FA Cup earned him top spot in the club’s fan vote.
The final shot came during Liverpool FC’s Emirates FA Cup victory over Barnsley FC at Anfield. It was still early in the game, and Szoboszlai collected the ball about 25 yards from goal and fired a powerful shot that flew into the top corner and gave the goalkeeper no chance, setting the stage for a 4-1 victory.

The Hungarian midfielder’s strike stands out in a month full of highlight-worthy finishes. In the final vote, his goal moved him ahead of second place Hugo Ekitike, whose second goal against Newcastle United earned him strong fan support.
Dominic had a huge influence on Liverpool.
Szoboszlai’s impact on the polls went beyond winning entries. He also finished third and fifth in free-kick goals against Olympique Marseille and AFC Bournemouth, underscoring Liverpool’s growing influence in attack and reputation as a set-piece threat.
In fourth place was Mohamed Salah, who scored a free-kick goal against Calabagh FK in the Champions League, providing another reminder of the variety of scoring options available to the Red Devils this season. Szoboszlai’s performances in January reflect his growing importance in midfield, particularly in moments when Liverpool need stimulation from a distance. His ability to score from long range adds a new dimension to a team already known for its offensive depth.
For supporters at Anfield and beyond, the FA Cup game against Barnsley was a match unlike any other, combining technique, power and timing that defined Liverpool’s month.
