Michael Owen calls on Liverpool's Cody Gakpo to 'stamp his authority' more to become a regular starter after his brace in the Reds' 4-0 win against LASK, as Joe Cole urges the forward to 'take charge of games'

Michael Owen has called on Cody Gakpo to do more to prove he deserves to be a regular starter for Liverpool after he starred in his side's 4-0 Europa League win against LASK on Thursday.

Gakpo netted the Reds' second and fourth goals in a resounding victory but Jurgen Klopp has preferred to use the likes of Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz ahead of him in league matches recently.

Owen feels Gakpo's performance at Anfield showed how talented he is, but he wants to see the Dutchman hitting those heights consistently.
