Cody Gakpo shared Arne Slot's frustration with Liverpool's lapse in concentration during the second half of Sunday's 6-3 win at Tottenham.

The Reds ran riot in the first hour in North London, scoring five times, but conceded two goals during a sloppy 15-minute period towards the end of the match to hand Spurs a glimmer of hope.

Ultimately, Ange Postecoglou's men were so defensively open that Luis Diaz's second goal of the day — Liverpool's sixth — was scored just two minutes after Spurs' third goal, as the Reds swiftly extinguished any chance of a Spurs comeback.

Despite seeing his team score six goals to extend its lead at the top of the Premier League table to four points, Slot stated his dissatisfaction with that under-par period in the second half.

"For 60 minutes we did everything we had to do, we were comfortable and good with the ball. The main thing is we worked very, very hard," the Liverpool boss told Match of the Day. "But then the same players with the same quality thought that 10 or 15 minutes of not working as hard was good enough."

In an interview with club media, Gakpo agreed with the Reds' boss's assessment of the second-half goals that Liverpool shipped: "Obviously when you score six, you hope to get a clean sheet as well. I think the first goal was a little bit unlucky from our side – maybe it was a foul, maybe it was not a foul.

"The last two, maybe we were a little bit less concentrated as we should [be], we can work on that. But that being said, Tottenham are always a good side with very good attacking players as well, who can score goals, can score a lot of goals. They have shown that in the game against us but also in other games. So, yeah, we can work on that to not concede those goals and to stay concentrated, but it’s also the game of football."
