Cody Gakpo said it was “amazing” to score his first goal for Liverpool after the Dutch forward helped his new side claim their first Premier League win of the year against rivals Everton on Monday night.
Mohamed Salah opened the scoring at Anfield in the 36th minute before Gakpo doubled the hosts’ lead.
Offering his reaction, Gakpo said: “It feels amazing to get my first goal in this game – also an important one. I’m really happy.
“It was amazing. Obviously for a striker it’s always nice to score and then also in a derby is a really great feeling.”It’s always difficult to come out of the dressing room, and if we start off with a goal, that’s amazing.
“It was a good pressing situation from us – Robbo [with a] good one-two with Hendo, Mo on the ball, a good cross, little deflected, but I was there at the second post.”
