Gakpo doet Engeland schuimbekken: ‘Verbazingwekkend!’

Cody Gakpo versierde voor Liverpool op zaterdag een strafschop in de uitwedstrijd bij Bournemouth. De Oranje-international bleef zelf achter zijn eigen voeten hangen en ging in het strafschopgebied naar de grond. De VAR draaide de penalty-beslissing niet terug, tot woede van niet-Liverpool-fans.

Engelse kijkers woest na ‘schijnpenalty’ voor Cody Gakpo, die Liverpool op gang hielp naar zege

Uiteindelijk was het Mohamed Salah die de strafschop benutte. De Egyptenaar scoorde in de tweede helft nog een keer tegen de ploeg van onder meer Justin Kluivert. Arne Slot en co konden met een gerust hart van het veld stappen, op social media kreeg Cody Gakpo ervan langs.

Net als de VAR… Op andere beelden lijkt echter Bournemouth-speler Lewis Cook de voeten van de Nederlander aan te raken. Voer voor discussie dus op de socials.

How has that been given as a penalty with VAR? pic.twitter.com/MLsBTcGYTB

VAR overturned the penalty won by Havertz for Arsenal, after being clipped.

VAR doesn't overturn the penalty won by Gakpo for Liverpool, after being clipped.

For all those who actually love the game of football.. stop making decisions into something they ain't. Gakpo was clipped before he tripped over his own leg too. Stonewall. pic.twitter.com/8auMDzUkdv

Yes.

What's the point of having VAR if they're not going to see Gakpo clipping his own feet to go down for the penalty? pic.twitter.com/OsPft01g5g

No, 13k+ likes because I lied is hilarious.

It was a stonewall penalty, Cook clipped Gakpo which caused him to trip over himself. None of the Bournemouth players had complaints.

Stayed up to watch MOTD anticipating a shocking decision to award Gakpo a penalty. It’s an absolute certain penalty. What chance have officials got if half the population think that’s not a pen?

Gakpo so clearly dived, it's astonishing that this was given as a penalty!pic.twitter.com/VPKqvEsH0H
