Danny Welbeck opened the scoring inside two minutes before goals from Luis Diaz and Mo Salah sent Liverpool top of the Premier League.

But fans were still feeling a little disgruntled after the match and voiced their frustration with substitute Gakpo.

The striker was brought on in the last minute to help Liverpool see the game out but fans were left unimpressed with his work effort.
