Aston Villa’s Onana Full of Praise for Dominik Szoboszlai

Aston Villa midfielder Amadou Onana has set social media ablaze with his glowing comments about Liverpool’s Dominik Szoboszlai following their intense Premier League battle yesterday.

Speaking to reporters after the game, Onana couldn’t hide his admiration for the Hungarian playmaker’s incredible performance — calling him “one of the best players I’ve faced this season.”

“This season alone, I have played against top players like Bukayo, Salah, Cole Palmer, and even Haaland — but to be honest, I have never seen a player with such qualities before,” Onana said.

“He really caught me unaware yesterday. His energy, control, and movement are unreal. You can’t predict what he’s going to do next — he’s that good.”

Szoboszlai’s Midfield Masterclass

Dominik Szoboszlai was at the heart of everything positive for Liverpool on the night — gliding through midfield, dictating tempo, and constantly threatening Aston Villa’s backline.

The Hungarian international not only dominated possession but also showed exceptional awareness and composure under pressure, completing key passes and creating multiple chances for his teammates.

According to post-match stats, Szoboszlai registered:

89% pass accuracy
3 key passes
2 successful dribbles
6 duels won

It was a performance that perfectly reflected his growing maturity and influence under Arne Slot’s system.
