Despite falling behind in the game, the Reds rallied to secure a crucial three points in the Champions League group stages.
Speaking post-game, Gakpo commented: "Obviously every player wants to play and I got my moment.
"I think every player does when they start, I really wanted to show myself and I am very happy with the assist and especially the win."
He added: "I think we had some more chances but they were dangerous in moments as well. Overall we controlled the game pretty good, so yeah a fair result for us.”
