Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was taken aback by Dominik Szoboszlai’s claim that he had never played in a derby match before. The Hungary star helped the Reds beat Everton at Anfield on Saturday in his first taste of the Merseyside rivalry.<\/p>\n
Szoboszlai has settled into life at Liverpool straight away following his \u00a360million move from RB Leipzig in the summer. He has started all nine Premier League matches so far this season and has two goals to his name in all competitions.<\/p>\n
The midfielder started his career at Austrian side Liefering before a two-and-a-half-year spell at Red Bull Salzburg. He spent the same length of time at Leipzig before earning his move to Anfield.<\/p>\n
Neither Salzburg nor Leipzig have a local derby anywhere near the level of Liverpool vs Everton. And Klopp was astonished by Szoboszlai’s claim in the lead up to Saturday’s match.<\/p>\n
