CODY GAKPO continued his Carabao Cup love affair with a brilliant brace at Brighton.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The Dutchman\u2019s double set Liverpool up to cruise into the quarters.<\/p>\n

\"Cody<\/p>\n

Cody Gakpo scored twice as Liverpool beat Brighton 3-2<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The result saw the Reds book their place in the next round of the Carabao Cup<\/em><\/p>\n

But a late flurry of goals, with Simon Adingra and Tariq Lamptey scoring either side of Luis Diaz, left Arne Slot looking flustered.<\/p>\n

Whether 2-0 up or down Brighton can always produce a comeback or collapse, but Slot\u2019s lot should have been far more comfortable having been put clear.<\/p>\n

Gakpo bagged four goals on the way to last season\u2019s final and already has four in two appearances this term.<\/p>\n

Slot needed another forward to step up after injuries and some rotation \u2013 eight changes a piece made here.<\/p>\n

He has so little faith in blooper-reel regular Darwin Nunez that he opted to start two central midfielders, Dominik Szboszlai and Curtis Jones, as false nines.<\/p>\n

It left the Reds with an effective front four at most times, though they struggled for clear cut chances.<\/p>\n

However the hosts should have taken the lead thanks to a clever clip over the Liverpool back line by Jan Paul van Hecke<\/p>\n

Lamptey found himself alone against impressive keeper Vitezslav Jaros but fired straight at the Czech.<\/p>\n

The chance gave Brighton a shot of spirit but Slot\u2019s side largely retained control and started to force chances.<\/p>\n

Their lack of focal point, with Jota injured, meant openings were harder to come by.<\/p>\n

It took a smart one-two between Szboszlai and Andy Robertson to find some space, though the midfielder shot straight at Steele before Luis Diaz headed the rebound wide.<\/p>\n

Gakpo then fed Robertson for a chance of his own, though Steele stopped it with ease at the near post.<\/p>\n

Having gone for the tappy and technical approach to breaking Brighton down in the first half, Gakpo went for the jugular within 40 seconds of the restart \u2013 cracking a thunderbolt from the corner of the box past Steele.<\/p>\n

His strike here did put Liverpool ahead but it also put a rocket up the hosts.<\/p>\n

\"Gakpo<\/p>\n

Gakpo got his first early in the second half<\/em><\/p>\n

\"He<\/p>\n

He doubled Liverpool\u2019s lead soon after<\/em><\/p>\n

Within moments of the resumption, third-choice keeper Jaros made a stunning fingertip save to turn Adingra\u2019s header on to the post before parrying an effort from Evan Ferguson and pushing Jakub Moder\u2019s long range striker over the bar.<\/p>\n

Hurzeler\u2019s men were in complete control, but another Lamptey handed Liverpool the initiative once again.<\/p>\n

The former Chelsea man was robbed of the ball in his own half by Gakpo, who raced away as part of three red shirts against one blue and white.<\/p>\n

Gakpo opted to square for Szboszlai who got his feet stuck and allowed Steele to get a hand to his poor effort.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

His careless backpass led to a goal from Adingra that put Liverpool in a bad position.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Simon<\/p>\n

Simon Adingra gave the Reds a late fright<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Luis<\/p>\n

Luis Diaz managed to restore the Reds\u2019 two-goal lead<\/em><\/p>\n

Two minutes after the first warning, Gakpo snatched the ball from the full-back once more and this time took no risks in squaring to a team-mate. A thumping near-post finish flashed past Steele.<\/p>\n

Kaoru Mitoma was sent on and tormented down the left but it was Adingra, Brighton\u2019s standout man, who gave them hope of a comeback.<\/p>\n

Jarell Quansah was pickpocketed in his own half, much as Lamptey had erred. The winger prodded home after the ball went to Ferguson, whose strong effort was split.<\/p>\n

\"What<\/p>\n

Diaz responded with a spectacular reverse finish into the near post, frightening Liverpool once more.<\/p>\n

That ought to have been it, but Lamptey gave the home team a deflected second. What a night he might have had if he hadn\u2019t made such dumb blunders.<\/p>\n

After five agonizingly more minutes, Slot was finally able to exhale. However, he will have to deal with Brighton\u2019s onslaught once more on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\"Tariq<\/p>\n

Tariq Lamptey pulled back a late effort for the hosts<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Liverpool<\/p>\n

Liverpool continued their fine start under Arne Slot<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
