Cody Gakpo News: Goal in lacklustre performance

Written by RotoWire Staff

Published on October 19, 2025

Gakpo scored one goal to go with five shots (one on goal), 11 crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 2-1 loss against Manchester United.

Gakpo scored his third goal of the season, but it came during a flurry of missed chances. The winger hit the post three times, which is only the second time that a player has hit the woodwork three or more times since Opta started collecting data for the Premier League in 2003/04. He took five shots for the second time this season, but also missed a huge headed chance just after Harry Maguire had put United in front.
