Dominik Szoboszlai has 'Steven Gerrard DNA' according to euphoric Liverpool fans following his blistering Carabao Cup screamer.
The Hungary skipper has hit the ground running at Anfield and capped off another fine performance with a second-half rocket as Jurgen Klopp's side came from behind to beat Leicester. The 22-year-old sensationally fired home off the underside of the crossbar following a pass from Wataru Endo.
