Deadly Dom helps nail Hammers

- DAVE ANDERSON

so much for Dominik Szoboszlai struggling at Liverpool.

The great and good of Liverpool, from Phil Thompson to Jamie Carragher and Graeme Souness, berated him for his poor performance in the goalless draw against Manchester United.

But Szoboszlai answered them in the only way he knows how as he scored another screamer to book Liverpool's place in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup for a record 19th time.

The Hungary skipper fired home from 25 yards and his showreel finish put Liverpool on their way to an eighth successive home win over West Ham.

David Moyes left Anfield disappointed yet again - and he has failed to win in 21 visits as a manager.

The West Ham boss cannot complain and his side barely laid a glove on Liverpool, who rediscovered their goalscoring groove.

There was an intensity and energy to Liverpool's play and their finishing, which let them down against United, was back.
