After falling behind to a Jarell Quansah own goal, the Reds ran riot in the third round of the EFL Cup, with a Diogo Jota brace and a strike from Mohamed Salah putting them 3-1 up. However, there was still time for Netherlands international Gakpo to leave his mark on the game, scoring two goals in three minutes right at the end of the match to put the cherry on top of a superb performance.
Goals aside, Gakpo created three chances on the night, while attempting six shots, completing 94% of his passes and 100% of his dribbles, alongside 11 touches in the opposition box.
Redknapp believes Slot has a problem with Gakpo clearly deserving a run in the team, despite the red-hot form of Luis Diaz on Liverpool's left flank.
Gakpo has given Slot a lovely problem, Virgil has had 90 minutes rest, it's been ideal for them.
