“We could say it was his best game of the series, winning seven out of eight duels on the ground and making five key passes.” Milos Kerkez's performance against the Republic or Ireland was described as his 'best of the series' (Image: Getty Images) And on Szoboszlai, they added: “He started with a free kick and three corners, and the opening goal was achieved, his pass count was 47/45 until the break. He played in a more back than usual, filtering position, but he also reached the Irish penalty area from deep, he gave a beautiful pass in the 51st minute, four minutes later he broke between two defenders, that was also brilliant, it's a shame about the pass, the ball was lifted behind him for the second Irish goal, but he gave five key passes.” With their country’s World Cup hopes now over, Szoboszlai and Kerkez will return to Liverpool in the coming days as they turn their focus back to matters in the Premier League.
