Liverpool fans say same thing about Philippe Coutinho after Cody Gakpo goal

Liverpool supporters were given deja vu when Cody Gakpo scored his second goal against Manchester United.

Former Reds star Philippe Coutinho scored a goal very similar to the Dutchman's in David de Gea in the Europa League back in March 2016.

The Brazilian picked the ball up on the left of the pitch at Old Trafford to drive into the box and then superbly lift one over De Gea in the United goal - much like Gakpo did in front of the Kop.

Coutinho's goal at Old Trafford secured Liverpool's passage to the Europa League quarter-finals while Gakpo's double helped cement a huge victory for the Reds over their fierce rivals.

One Liverpool fan labelled the Dutchman "Codydinho" after the former PSV attacker dinked it calmly over the Spaniard in goal.

Another Liverpool supporter was 'reminded' of Coutinho's goal in Manchester seven years ago.

"Gakpo finish #2 reminded me of Coutinho in the Europa a lot."

Man United goalkeeper De Gea will be having 'flashbacks' after conceding Gakpo's second goal.

"Gakpo. Oh my word. De Gea will be having flashbacks from the Coutinho chip. What a finish."

Liverpool's newest signing's finish was 'outrageous' according to this Liverpool fan: "Nah that Gakpo finish was outrageous…shades of Coutinho."
