When World Cup discovery Cody Gakpo made his debut, German team manager Jürgen Klopp and Liverpool FC missed out on qualifying for the fourth round of the FA Cup.
After beating Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-2 (1-1) at Anfield, the Reds now have to play the replay at Wolves’ stadium on January 17th.
Goncalo Guedes gave the guests the lead (26′) after a major mistake by Liverpool keeper Alisson, which Darwin Nunez equalized before the break (45′). In the second half, Mohamed Salah scored for the favorites (52′), but ex-Leipzig player Hee-chan Hwang cheated the ball into the net (66′).
Dutchman Gakpo, who scored three goals at the World Cup in Qatar, was in the starting XI on his first appearance for the new club. The 23-year-old made a rather unspectacular debut a few days after his transfer from PSV Eindhoven.
