Brighton fans sing new chant for Liverpool star after embarrassing Chelsea gaffe

Gakpo obviously plays for Liverpool, having joined the Reds in the January transfer window. But the scoreboard at Stamford Bridge put up the Dutchman's name as the replacement for Evan Ferguson late in the first-half, rather than Welbeck.
