Gakpo hit Liverpool‘s second goal to put Jurgen Klopp’s side in front – but something else he struck got supporters laughing.

The Luton defender got to the ball first and nudged it away from Gakpo.

But he had already decided to unleash a shot and his wild swing ended up catching Bell near his private parts.

One supporter joked: “He has kicked the wrong ball.”

Bell soon jumped back up and soldiered on but was further bruised as Liverpool found their shooting boots in the second-half.
