Although Liverpool is almost out of the championship, striker Cody Gakpo still expressed satisfaction when the home team won against the team in the ‘Big 6’ group, Tottenham.
In the recent Super Sunday match, Liverpool Football Club secured a convincing 4-2 victory at home against Tottenham Hotspur, one of the teams in the ‘Big 6’.
With their superiority evident, Liverpool performed exceptionally well in the first 60 minutes of the match, scoring four consecutive goals against Tottenham.
Even though they tried to rise up afterwards, all that the London team could do were two shortened goals from Richarlison and Son Heung-min, thereby accepting a final 2-4 defeat.
And after this victory, forward Cody Gakpo expressed his happiness about his team’s win when speaking to Sky Sports. The Dutch star said: “Everyone wanted to achieve something in the past few weeks, but sometimes it just didn’t happen. Today was a big game for us at Anfield.”
Just like what Harvey Elliott said, we are under no pressure. The whole team simply went out and enjoyed the match. We coordinate with each other, score goals together and protect the results together. Overall, this is an expected result.” In this match, Gakpo jumped up to score Liverpool’s third goal. The Dutch star showed great technique to put the ball into the net after Elliott’s cross.
According to statistics, this is also Gakpo’s 7th goal for ‘The Kop’ in 33 appearances in the Premier League this season. And the striker born in 1999 decided to dedicate this goal to his newborn son.
“It was a good cross. And I think I had a precise header. I am very happy with that goal. This will also be a gift that I want to dedicate to my son.”
With the victory over Spurs, Cody Gakpo and his teammates continue to solidify their 3rd position in the standings after round 36, amassing 78 points. In theory, they still have a chance to clinch the title if they win their remaining 2 matches, while Arsenal (83 points) and Man City (82 points) lose all their remaining games. However, it’s highly unlikely for this scenario to unfold, considering both of these teams are in excellent form at the moment.
