Liverpool Carabao Cup hero Cody Gakpo has revealed the role Anfield played in the Red’s wins over Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday night.

The Reds secured their place in the Carabao Cup final thanks to a 4-0 win over Spurs at Anfield on Thursday.

Having lost 1-0 in the first leg, Liverpool needed a big performance to qualify for their 15th League Cup final in history.
