Cody Gakpo: Very happy with the goals and really proud of the team

Gakpo, who also scored twice against West Ham United in the preliminary round, revealed his verdict to Sky Sports after the game. Read his reaction below…

About his luck with night work…

Yes, overall I think the most important thing is that we won here and we did that. A tough opponent, a lot of quality. But we showed great character today and I think it was a nice game to watch.

About how proud he is of his two placements…

I think two good goals, but I think maybe there should have been more or an assist. But in the end I'm also very happy with the goals.

On the contribution of Liverpool's young players to the game…

Very good, very good. Tyler Morton started, he didn't start that often. Trey (Nyoni) came late and of course the goalkeeper (Vitezslav Jaros). I think they did fantastic, I'm very proud of them too. Proud of the entire team. It's not always easy when you don't play that much and then suddenly you have to play a game; Conor (Bradley), for example, was slightly injured, came straight back and played 90 minutes. Everyone did a good job, I'm really proud of them and really proud of the team.

On wanting to continue the run in the Carabao Cup…

Obviously, you want to win every competition you enter. Also this one, I'm so glad we made it through and moved on to the next one.
