Cody Gakpo has called for a repeat of last season’s 7-0 success as Liverpool prepare to face Manchester United at Anfield again.<\/p>\n
In March Gakpo scored a brace as Liverpool annihilated their rivals with an emphatic victory.<\/p>\n
Liverpool are currently top of the Premier League and Gakpo is eager for his side to secure another victory on Sunday in what would be a further boost to their title credentials.<\/p>\n
As reported by The Independent, Gakpo said:\u00a0‘It was a great game that one. We knew we had to win and after a good first half from both teams the second half we really dominated and scored a lot of goals.<\/p>\n
‘I scored just before half-time and I think just two minutes after half-time Darwin (Nunez) scored the second one and two minutes after I scored the third. It was good for us to score that quick after half-time and kill the game. It was amazing.<\/p>\n

Gakpo opened the scoring against United just before half time, with Darwin Nunez making it 2-0 early in the second period. Gakpo proceeded to make it 3-0, with Nunez later getting his second of the game. Mohamed Salah scored twice and Roberto Firmino also got on the scoresheet for Jurgen Klopp’s team.<\/p>\n

Liverpool will be aware that they cannot take anything for granted against United but they will be determined to enjoy another victory.<\/p>\n
