Cody Gakpo and Virgil van Dijk up for Carabao Cup semi-finals award

Cody Gakpo and Virgil van Dijk have each been nominated for the Carabao Cup semi-finals Player of the Round award.

The Netherlands pair helped Liverpool reach the final for the third time in four years as Arne Slot’s men beat Tottenham Hotspur 4-1 on aggregate.

Indeed, both were on the scoresheet in the second leg of the last-four tie at Anfield last week.
