Liverpool were cruising against West Ham United with a comfortable 3-1 lead when an unbelievable moment left fans inside Anfield absolutely stunned.
With the game entering the 54th minute, Cody Gakpo found himself staring at what looked like the easiest goal of his Liverpool career. The Dutch forward, desperate to end his recent goal drought, latched onto a golden opportunity with the net wide open and only inches separating him from what seemed a guaranteed finish.
But in a moment that will be replayed for all the wrong reasons, Gakpo completely miscued his effort — sending the ball shockingly wide of the post. 😬
😱 Shock and Disbelief on the Pitch
The reaction said it all.
Captain Virgil van Dijk threw his arms out in disbelief, while defensive partner Ibrahima Konaté could hardly process what he had just witnessed. Both defenders were seen shouting in sheer frustration and shock as the chance went begging.
For a player looking to silence critics and rebuild confidence, it was a moment that only intensified the spotlight.
🔴 Reds Still in Control… But Questions Remain
Despite the embarrassing miss, Liverpool maintained their advantage and continued to control proceedings. However, the incident has sparked fresh debate among supporters about Gakpo’s current form and composure in front of goal.
Was it simply a lapse in concentration? Or a sign of deeper struggles in confidence?
