Liverpool attacker Gakpo happy with new role for victory over Brentford

Liverpool attacker Cody Gakpo says he was happy with his new role for victory over Brentford.

Gakpo featured on the right of a midfield three.

"I enjoy playing, for sure, and wherever I can help the team the most," the Holland international said of his new role. "Sometimes it's a little bit deeper in the midfield and sometimes in the striker position. I just enjoy playing with my team-mates and especially when you win it's way more fun!

"It was really difficult because it looked like whenever we went for a duel we fouled them. That's a decision of the referee but it makes it really difficult to go into a challenge.

"We managed to pull through and when they got a set-piece we were really sharp and we didn't concede. That was good from our side.

"Job done, that was the most important thing. It was a tough game but we stuck together, worked really hard and pulled through. It was a massive win for us in a good period. The season is not over yet and we just have to stay focused and try to win the last three as well."
