“Stunning Fan-Captured Footage of Cody Gakpo’s Breathtaking Goal Against Leicester!”

Cody Gakpo chose the ideal moment to score a brilliant equalizer for Liverpool, helping them recover from a deficit to secure a 3-1 victory over Leicester on Thursday night, leveling the score in first-half stoppage time.

Just when it seemed the Foxes were set to take their lead into halftime, Cody Gakpo struck to deflate the visitors, delivering a goal that proved to be the match’s turning point.

What initially appeared as a brilliant strike on TV (and was praised as ‘brilliant‘ by Andy Townsend on Prime Video Sport) was revealed to be a truly stunning finish through fan footage filmed inside Anfield.

Gakpo’s Stylish Strike for Liverpool Captured by TikTok user toychw, who was seated in the Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand, the footage offers a perfect view of Gakpo as he cut in from the left, skillfully evading James Justin before unleashing an unstoppable shot past Leicester goalkeeper Jakub Stolarczyk.

From that vantage point, the full extent of the curl on Gakpo’s shot was clear, as the ball bent gracefully into the net at the far post.

Gakpo is on track to surpass his goal tally from last season. His stunning strike marked his 10th goal of the campaign, and since the November international break, he has registered four goals and two assists in nine matches (Transfermarkt).

The beauty of the finish was only matched by its significance, as Liverpool were facing the prospect of trailing at halftime to a Leicester side that had expertly disrupted the game’s tempo with their strategy of slowing things down.

Now, two years after joining Anfield, the Dutch winger needs just six more goals to match his total from the 2023/24 season. If he can stay clear of serious injuries, the 25-year-old looks all but certain to surpass that figure.

The quality with which he dispatched the equalizer last night highlights a forward in superb form, poised to deliver many more moments of brilliance in the months ahead.
