He appeared before going to rest. Cody Gakpo scored two goals for Liverpool in the 3-0 against Manchester Utd by the date 26 of the Premier League. The Dutch striker opened the scoring after receiving a great through ball from Andrew Robertson. The attacker defined excellently and unleashed madness at Anfield. The goalkeeper De Gea tried to save it but could do nothing to prevent the first goal of the match.
In the dying minutes of the first half, Robertson grabbed the ball and moved into the middle. Then he raised his head and set up an extraordinary pass for the Dutchman, who entered the box, dribbled past Varane and shot home to the side of the goal. It was 1-0 in favor of the team led by Jurgen Klopp.
At the start of the second half, Liverpool came out with everything, ready to settle the game, and they did it with two formidable attacks. First the Uruguayan Darwin Nunez (47′) scored and then Gakpo scored (50′). Salah made a great individual move, left Lisandro Martínez lying, and enabled the Dutchman, who defined above the goalkeeper.
It should be noted that it is the first double scored by Gakpo as a Liverpool player. The attacker already has 4 goals in his new team. He had previously scored in the victories against Everton and Newcastle in the Premier League. He has arrived to make a difference and he is doing it with his goals. Will it be enough for the ‘Reds’ to come back in the table?
