Cody Gakpo's goal against Bournemouth and a new headache for Klopp

After a difficult first half in which there was little excitement, Liverpool were able to take a 1-0 lead in their fourth round League Cup tie against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium thanks to a goal from Dutch striker Cody Gakpo, who is gradually recovering from injury.

German coach Jurgen Klopp surprised with a line-up that included several substitutes, although he did start Egyptian Pharaoh Mohamed Salah and even handed him the captain's armband. Also surprising was the appearance of Hungarian midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai as well as youth defender Jarrel Quansah, who is slowly but surely earning a place in the Reds' first team.

It was the 31st minute when Liverpool took the lead thanks to Dutch striker Cody Gakpo who took a rebound inside the box from a corner kick and simply pushed the ball into the back of the net after a long-range effort from Harvey Elliot, who also started the game.

Klopp's headache

The headache for Klopp will be for Sunday's game when they visit Luton Town in the Premier League matchday 11 fixture. With this good performance from Dutchman Cody Gakpo, he will have to decide who will be his attackers as Uruguayan Darwin Nunez is also enjoying a great moment in addition to Portuguese Diogo Jota.
