Liverpool star Cody Gakpo shines in Netherlands rout of Romania
Virgil van Dijk capt🔴ained the Oranje in the 3-0 win over Romania, a game in which Cody Gakpo registered a goal and an assist.
The Liverpool attacker was a constant thorn in Romania’s side and opened 🌸the scoring in the first half, cutting in from the left and firing into the bottom corner.
Gakpo 🌺then came close to adding a second, forcing an excellent save after a driving run.
The Reds ace was unlucky to see a goal ruled🌊 out by VAR, but secured anꦬother goal contribution by assisting Donyell Malen’s second of the night.
BB𓄧C Sport pundits Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer loved what they saw from Gakpo and sung his praises mid-game and post-match.
“Itꦑ was a really good goal by Cody Gakpo,” Shearer said on after the Liverpool man’s op🌜ener.
“The way he moves the ball quickꦐly leaves the defender with little chance to adjust his feet.
“The goalkeeper should do better, but the move and the shot early is w♑hat beats the goalkeeper. It’s༒ a really good strike.”
Later on, Lineker said live on BBC One (2/7/24, 7:02pm): “Brilliant performance from him. I thought he was the stand-out playe🎃r. Got Man of the Match.”
Shearer replied: “He was a threat, the whole game, whether it was him on that left-hand side coming back inside. He also got the assist as well. Yeah, he wꦿas outstanding.”
Gakpo heroics will please Slot
Gakpo has b﷽een in🔜 and out of the Liverpool starting XI since his move to Anfield, but things could well change next season.
His heroܫics for the Netherlands at Euro 2024 will no doubt be pleasing ๊to Slot, both as a fellow Dutchman and as his new manager.
In addition, speculation between L🀅iverpool and Anthony Gordon didn’t lead to a move ahead of 30 June, and Newcastle no longer have a pressing need to sell him.
