Gakpo: Liverpool needed that win

Cody Gakpo was happy scoring in Liverpool's win against Tottenham.

The attacker struck as the Reds won 4-2 on Sunday.

Gakpo said: "It was a disappointing few weeks where the results were not what we wanted. We could have scored more. It was a good day.

"Everyone wanted to do their best in the last few weeks but it didn't work. We wanted to enjoy it, play for goals, defend together and it was a good result.

"It was a good result and a good header. I'm very happy, very blessed. That was one for my son.

"Everybody is aware of the situation [with Klopp leaving]. We wanted to show it for the fans but also for the manager and that's what we did today."
