Dominik Szoboszlai has been voted Liverpool’s Standard Chartered Men’s Player of the Month for August!

Thoroughly deserved, Dom! What a signing

The fastest player in Premier League history? Liverpool’s Dominik Szoboszlai becomes 2nd quickest

He’s still a little way off the quickest in Premier League history though

During Liverpool’s 3-1 victory over Wolves on Saturday, Dominik Szoboszlai reportedly broke the record for second-fastest player in Premier League history. In the Saturday lunchtime match, Jurgen Klopp’s team came from 1-0 down to win 3-1 thanks to an outstanding second half effort. They briefly moved to the top of the Premier League standings as they maintained their strong start to the season.

Szoboszlai was critical to the comeback as Klopp moved the Hungarian into a deeper position in the second half so he could dictate play. His influence saw Cody Gakpo equalise before Andy Robertson and a Hugo Bueno own goal sealed all three points. But tSzoboszlai showed more than just his playmaking skills at Molineux. That’s because, while chasing back in the first half, he reportedly reached a top speed of 36.76kph. That’s according to coach and scientist, Simon Brundish, who tweeted “Dom Szoboszlai became the 2nd fastest footballer in @premierleague history against Wolves recording a top speed of 36.76kph.”

He followed that tweet up with: “Seems the official chart has some spurious data which I’ve had disputed by the tracking company but we can go with Kyle Walkers 37.3, nobody is debating that he’s lightning But amazing that Dom covers the most distance in the league whilst being the fastest this season.”

Footage of the moment in which Szoboszlai hit those lightening speeds have also emerged on X, as he looked to recover the ball from another dangerous break from Wolves in that first half. It ended with the former RB Leipzig man putting pressure on the ball before Alexis Mac Allister regains possession.
