A Heartwarming Exchange Between Cody Gakpo and Curtis Jones After Liverpool’s Victory
After Liverpool’s impressive 5-1 win against West Ham, a touching post-match exchange between Cody Gakpo and Curtis Jones caught the attention of fans and television pundits. The victory secured Liverpool’s spot in a two-legged encounter with Fulham, bringing them one step closer to Wembley at the end of February.
A Moment of Celebration and Support
During the match, Jones scored two goals, and Gakpo, who also found the back of the net, enthusiastically congratulated him after the final whistle.

Jones gratefully responded, expressing his appreciation for Gakpo’s support. The display of camaraderie between the two players left presenter Mark Chapman in awe, remarking that he had never seen such a heartfelt speech during a Man of the Match award presentation. Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp even joked that it should become a regular feature.
A Reflection of Friendship and Team Unity
The close bond between Gakpo and Jones extends beyond the pitch. In a recent video for the club’s official channels, Jones revealed that he would be spending Christmas Eve at Gakpo’s house. This strong friendship is evident in their performances on the field, as both players played crucial roles in Liverpool’s journey to the semi-finals of the competition.
While their sights are set on winning the first major silverware of the 2023/24 season, Liverpool’s attention now turns to a top-of-the-table clash with Arsenal. The winner of this match will spend Christmas Day at the top of the Premier League table.
