Cody Gakpo suggests Liverpool were ‘a little bit lucky’ with one crucial moment on Sunday

Cody Gakpo suggested that Liverpool were "a little bit lucky" with their opening goal in Sunday's 2-0 Premier League win over Brighton. Speaking to the club's official website, the Dutch forward reflected on the match after Florian Wirtz's 17th-minute shot took a heavy deflection off Pascal Gross to open the scoring at Anfield.

Liverpool doubled their advantage five minutes later when Bradley Barcola assisted Alexander Isak for a close-range finish. The Empire of the Kop noted that while the opening goal required fortune, Liverpool's overall proactive performance, work rate, and defensive resilience earned the victory despite Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler's critical post-match comments.
