Cody Gakpo broke Jurgen Klopp 'golden rule' just before scoring his first Liverpool goal

New Liverpool signing Cody Gakpo announced himself at Anfield on Monday with a goal against Everton - but is he up to speed with all of Jurgen Klopp's rules?

The 23-year-old Dutchman has made seven appearances for the Reds since moving to Merseyside from PSV Eindhoven in a £37million deal last month. After bedding in, the forward has now made his mark, netting Liverpool's second goal against their city rivals in a much-needed 2-0 win.

But before kick-off, eagle-eyed fans noticed the Netherlands international performing a ritual that is technically off-limits to him, for now at least. While entering the field of play before the match, Gakpo was seen to touch the 'This is Anfield' sign above his head as he walked through the tunnel towards the pitch. The moment was filmed on the club's Inside Anfield Youtube feature.
