Liverpool attacker Gakpo: West Ham draw not what we wanted

Liverpool attacker Cody Gakpo admitted frustration after their 2-2 draw at West Ham.

Gakpo had the Reds 2-1 ahead before Michail Antonio struck to rescue a point for the hosts.

He later said: "The result was not what we wanted. We came for three points. We played a good game, we controlled the first half and then conceded. It is tough to come back but we scored two goals and then we needed to stay more calm and keep the ball. We needed to play and not concede, but we did."

On what Jurgen Klopp's half-time message was, he continued: "We just have to go for it. We've done it a lot of times this season, bouncing back from a goal against. That was the message, just give it our all.

"The ball is not going in. That is a thing we've had to improve for a pretty long time now. If we knew why [it was happening] we'd solve the problem. I don't know."

On the title race, Gakpo added: "We're in a very, very difficult position. If Arsenal win it is five points and Man City have some games in hard. It is going to be difficult, not impossible, but very very difficult."
