Dominik Szoboszlai refused to be downbeat following Liverpool’s defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion - as he is relishing the prospect of getting his hands on the Premier League title. Despite leading twice at the Amex, Arne Slot’s side fell to a second defeat in three games after Jack Hinshelwood struck a late winner to secure his side a 3-2 win.
The Reds clinched the title in style at a jubilant Anfield with a thumping 5-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur at the end of last month. And following the conclusion of Sunday’s game against Crystal Palace, Szoboszlai and his team-mates will be presented with the title.
And although he was disappointed to suffer defeat on the South Coast, the Hungary international is about to see his dreams come true.

He said: “Of course, I cannot say we are very sad, but of course we didn't come here to lose. We wanted to win.
“I think we showed also in the first probably 70 minutes that we wanted to show up and get the three points and take it home.
“But at the end we faced a really tough Brighton team. To be honest, they deserved to win because at the end, they worked harder than us, they scored more goals than us, and it looks like they wanted more.
“Of course, for us, we have won the league already, but as I said before, we didn't come here to lose. We don't want to lose.
“As you saw against Arsenal, we also gave everything. This week on Sunday we're going to give everything also because it's the last home game of the season and I think the fans and everybody deserves that they see us play like how we really want to play.”
Asked about the week ahead, the midfielder said: “First of all, we have a week of training now and 90 minutes to play. We don't want to lose and we're going to give everything.
“We're going to fight for the three points still. But at the end of the game, we'll lift the trophy and probably everybody's dream came true.”
Szoboszlai put his side back in front in first-half stoppage time when he fired past Bart Verbruggen from a tight angle.
But asked if it was a shot or a cross, he revealed: “No, it was a cross, to be honest. I'm not going to lie! But I'm happy to score and help the team.”
