Internationals: Gakpo on target as seven Reds feature in Nations League

 Cody Gakpo scored for the Netherlands on Saturday night as seven Liverpool players were involved in UEFA Nations League action for their countries.

The Dutch earned a 5-2 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina in Eindhoven, with Gakpo, Ryan Gravenberch and Virgil van Dijk all starting.

Gakpo netted from close range to finish off a slick team move to make it 3-1 on the night, before the attacker departed shortly after the hour mark, with his Reds teammates finishing the full game.

The match saw captain Van Dijk bring up the milestone of 75 international caps, too.

Earlier in the day, Trent Alexander-Arnold completed the full 90 minutes at right-back for England, with the Three Lions defeating goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher’s Republic of Ireland 2-0 in Dublin.

Kostas Tsimikas featured for the full match and helped keep a clean sheet in Greece’s 3-0 win over Finland, while Dominik Szoboszlai captained Hungary, who were beaten 5-0 by Germany in Dusseldorf.
