ReviewBreaking down Cody Gakpo's 'outstanding' all-round performance at Crystal Palace
Gakpo produced the assist for Diogo Jota's decisive finish at Selhurst Park on the weekend, firing a low cross into the box that was nudged in by his fellow attacker.
As highlighted by former Red Neil Mellor on the Review Show, that set-up was just one aspect of a terrific display from the left-winger.
Gakpo topped Arne Slot's side in a number of statistical categories – including chances created and possession wins – and covered 10.4 kilometres throughout the afternoon.
"I thought Cody Gakpo pushed Virgil van Dijk very close for Player of the Match," Mellor said. "Absolutely outstanding.
"He'd had two starts [before Palace] – against West Ham in the League Cup, against AC Milan in the Champions League. His last Premier League start was the game against Wolves at home last season.
"He just looks sharp. He was really effective down that left-hand side, causing Crystal Palace a lot of problems. I thought he was absolutely outstanding.
"At times we've seen him in the false-nine position, we've seen him in the midfield as well, but he was more that left-winger [and] did his defensive duties really well."
