Cody Gakpo wins Carabao Cup Player of the Round award

Gakpo scored two excellent goals in the fourth-round tie at Brighton & Hove Albion last month to help secure a 3-2 win and continue the Reds’ defence of the trophy.

And the Dutchman was subsequently selected as the star man across round four, collecting his prize at the AXA Training Centre.

Arne Slot’s side next face Southampton in the competition – the quarter-final takes place at St Mary’s on December 18.
