Cody Gakpo was the match-winner for Liverpool in a 3-2 win at Brighton to continue Arne Slot's excellent start to life with the Reds.
"I think in the second half of last season he got a lot of goals already. He has been a good player for Liverpool for a long time now and that’s a good thing," Arne Slot told reporters. "He is not starting every game but he has started on a regular basis and he is in a tough competition with Luis Diaz, who, in the moment he went on the left, also scored a goal. So, that’s normal.
"If you play at a club like Liverpool you have got two quality players for many positions and if you look at the way Joe Gomez played and also Jarell Quansah," he added.
Gakpo has not scored in the Premier League or Champions League this season but now has four goals in two League Cup games.
