WHAT HAPPENED?
Gakpo removed his shirt after scoring Liverpool's third goal against Tottenham in their Premier League clash on Sunday at Anfield. The Dutch forward revealed the words "I belong to Jesus" as he pointed his finger to the sky. Gakpo's gesture had a striking similarity to that of Brazil legend Kaka's iconic celebration in the 2007 Champions League final against the Reds, where the midfielder scored twice to secure his team their seventh European title.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Dominic Solanke had put the visitors in front early, within 12 minutes of kick off but Luis Diaz soon brought his team back into the game. Alexis Mac Allister then put the Reds in front before Gakpo added a third goal to the tally right before the break.
