Sub Gakpo answers SOS as Pool claim comeback win

CURTIS JONES and Cody Gakpo both netted in three minutes to put Liverpool in control of their Carabao Cup semi-final showdown with Fulham.

The Cottagers suffered yet more Anfield pain as the Reds pulled a first-leg victory from defeat to send their famous ground home wild.

Marco Silva had seen this one before. The former Everton boss must be sick of the sight of Merseyside.

This is where he lost his job as Toffees manager, of course.

Back in December, it was late goals from Wataru Endo and Trent Alexander-Arnold that grabbed a vital three points in the Premier League against his Fulham side.

But without those two and talisman Mo Salah, Liverpool needed Jones and Gakpo to get the goals.

This time it was to turn around a Carabao Cup semifinal first leg. Jurgen Klopp's side will now take a lead to Craven Cottage for the return in two weeks' time.
