GAK'S GOT THE KNACK

Super-sub Cody has magic Dutch for Klopp as rattled Reds stage comeback after Willian’s early strike

- DAVID ANDERSON

MARCO SILVA must be sick of Liverpool's fightbacks at Anfield after Jurgen Klopp's comeback kings did it once again.

Fulham were on course for a famous win in their first-ever League Cup semi-final with the match entering the final quarter.

But, after losing here last month when the Cottagers led with three minutes to go, Silva (right) must have feared the worst.

And, sure enough, Liverpool scored twice in three minutes to give them the advantage, heading to Craven Cottage in two weeks' time for the second leg of their record 19th League Cup semi.

Credit must go to the Kop's hero Darwin Nunez and he came on with Cody Gakpo, with just over half an hour remaining to turn the tie Liverpool's way.

He has hardly been prolific lately, but the Liverpool fans love his work rate and he had a hand in Curtis Jones' deflected leveller before he set up Gakpo's winner.

Liverpool were missing 10 players through injury and international call-ups, but such is their attacking might, they still found a way to win.

Defeat was tough on Fulham and they gave a great account of themselves to keep the tie alive.
