LIVERPOOL star Cody Gakpo left fans in stitches after he “kicked the wrong ball”.

The Reds came from behind to beat Luton 4-1, securing three points in the title race.

Cody Gakpo hurt Amari'i Bell with his mistimed swing

Gakpo scored Liverpool's second goal to give Jurgen Klopp's side the lead, but something else he scored had the supporters laughing.

Luis Diaz poked the ball towards the Dutchman as he was closed down by Amari'i Bell.

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

But he had already decided to unleash a shot and his wild swing finally struck Bell near his genitals.

Fans were left in stitches, but it was Bell who could have needed stitches as he went down with a scream.

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

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

Strikes from Virgil van Dijk, Gakpo, Luis Diaz and Harvey Elliott secured the win.
