Rio Ngumoha has been one of the very, very few positives to take from Liverpool’s 2025/26 season.The other has been Dominik Szoboszlai, who has stepped up and carried the Reds in multiple matches this term.Szoboszlai was excellent against Manchester United over the weekend, but his reaction to Ngumoha after the winger took on a shot was not needed.
