Jurgen Klopp hails "perfect player" who is thriving after Trent Alexander-Arnold switch

Jurgen Klopp has hailed Cody Gakpo as the "perfect player" for the no.9 role after impressing in Liverpool's 4-3 victory over Tottenham on Sunday.

The Dutchman didn't find his name on the scoresheet but grabbed two assists as Klopp's men continued their sharp improvement in form. Curtis Jones opened the scoring with a low finish before Gakpo set up Liverpool's second of the game - cutting the ball back for Luis Diaz to fire home.

Mohamed Salah added Liverpool's third from the penalty spot in the 15th minute after Gakpo was tripped inside the area. Tottenham fought back, however, as Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Richarlison struck to turn the game around and put Spurs back on course for a point.
