Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo scored a goal Sunday in his team’s crushing 5-1 win over Tottenham in the Premier League. He has now been officially reprimanded for immediately displaying a t-shirt with the message “I Belong to Jesus” in the moments after.
The 25-year-old claimed the Reds’ third of the afternoon at Anfield as they sealed the Premier League title.
Straight after he scored, Mail Online reports the Netherlands international took off his shirt to reveal a t-shirt that bore the message ‘I belong to Jesus’. He also displayed it at full-time amid the jubilant title-winning scenes that engulfed the stadium.
The t-shirt message and its font resembled that of AC Milan legend Kaka when he celebrated the Italian giant’s triumph over Liverpool in the 2007 Champions League final.
The Football Association (FA) has confirmed it has written to Gakpo following his celebration with the player escaping further punishment – for now, liverpool.com states.
