Jurgen Klopp appeared destined for a victorious debut in the German dugout after Felix Nmecha put the visitors ahead in the 32nd minute.

Germany held their lead well into the closing stages, controlling the tempo and frustrating a Dutch side playing their first competitive fixture under new head coach Xavi Hernández.

However, Gakpo came back to haunt the manager who originally brought him to Anfield.

In the 92nd minute, Ruben van Bommel delivered an outrageous trivela pass with the outside of his boot, carving through the German defense.

Gakpo met the curling cross on the full volley, smashing a sensational strike past Marc-André ter Stegen to snatch a dramatic point.

Cody Gakpo continues incredible start to season

Gakpo’s spectacular equaliser caps off a remarkable run of form for both club and country.

The 27-year-old winger has been in blistering form at the start of the campaign, repeatedly delivering decisive goal contributions in critical moments.

His clinical volley under pressure once again highlighted his exceptional goalscoring instincts.

He has now scored three goals and assisted four in seven games across all competitions for club and country.
