Andy Robertson and Virgil van Dijk have both praised Cody Gakpo on social media after his latest display for Liverpool.

Jurgen Klopp's men picked up a convincing 4-1 win at Brentford yesterday to maintain their place at the top of the Premier League table.

There were a few injury concerns for Liverpool on the day, with the likes of Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota and Curtis Jones all forced off.

His replacement, Cody Gakpo, came off the bench to grab a goal and an assist.

And after an encouraging display from the Dutchman, he's earned praise from teammates Andy Robertson and Virgil van Dijk.
