International round up: Salah scores, Alexander-Arnold stars and Gravenberch assists

Mohamed Salah was on the scoresheet on a day when 13 Liverpool players were involved in international fixtures.

Salah scored Egypt's third in a 4-0 victory over Botswana to help his nation maintain their perfect start to qualifying for the Africa Cup of Nations.

Ryan Gravenberch, meanwhile, set up the Netherlands' opener, which was netted by Tijani Reijnders, in a 2-2 draw with Germany in the UEFA Nations League. Virgil van Dijk and Cody Gakpo joined the Liverpool midfielder in the hosts' starting line-up.

Trent Alexander-Arnold starred for England and teed up Harry Kane to kick-start a 2-0 success at home to Finland.

Elsewhere on Tuesday, Kostas Tsimikas' Greece got the better of Caoimhin Kelleher and the Republic of Ireland, who were beaten 2-0 at Aviva Stadium.

Dominik Szoboszlai played all of Hungary's goalless affair with Bosnia and Herzegovina, while Wataru Endo captained Japan to a 5-0 win against Bahrain in a World Cup qualifier.

Calum Scanlon and Kaide Gordon were starters in the England Elite League Squad's 2-0 victory over Romania, with Luke Chambers appearing as a second-half substitute.

Calvin Ramsay, currently on loan at Wigan Athletic, came off the bench for the final 15 minutes of Scotland U21s' 5-0 routing of Malta.

Gakpo on target as seven Reds feature for their countries

Cody Gakpo scored for the Netherlands on Saturday night as seven Liverpool players were involved in UEFA Nations League action for their countries.

The Dutch earned a 5-2 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina in Eindhoven, with Gakpo, Ryan Gravenberch and Virgil van Dijk all starting.

Gakpo netted from close range to finish off a slick team move to make it 3-1 on the night, before the attacker departed shortly after the hour mark, with his Reds teammates finishing the full game.

The match saw captain Van Dijk bring up the milestone of 75 international caps, too.

Earlier in the day, Trent Alexander-Arnold completed the full 90 minutes at right-back for England, with the Three Lions defeating goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher’s Republic of Ireland 2-0 in Dublin.

Kostas Tsimikas featured for the full match and helped keep a clean sheet in Greece’s 3-0 win over Finland, while Dominik Szoboszlai captained Hungary, who were beaten 5-0 by Germany in Dusseldorf.

Gakpo man of the match as Holland sweep aside Romania

Cody Gakpo scored his third goal of Euro 2024 and provided an assist to help the Netherlands advance to the quarter-finals with a 3-0 defeat of Romania.

The Liverpool forward opened the scoring 20 minutes into Tuesday’s last-16 clash in Munich, driving into the box from the left flank and firing a finish inside the near post.

That goal moved Gakpo up to joint-top scorer at the tournament so far, alongside Georges Mikautadze (Georgia), Jamal Musiala (Germany) and Ivan Schranz (Slovakia).

Gakpo played 84 minutes before being replaced, while Virgil van Dijk completed the whole game as Dutch captain and aided in securing a clean sheet.

Both almost delivered another goal in the second half, a Van Dijk header bouncing off the post and a Gakpo effort from close range ruled out for offside.

The Netherlands finally doubled their advantage seven minutes from the end, when Gakpo brilliantly kept the ball in play as he dribbled to the byline, cutting a pass back for Donyell Malen to convert.

And Malen then swept in his second of the tie in stoppage time for Ronald Koeman’s side, for whom Reds midfielder Ryan Gravenberch remained on the bench.

Next up for the Netherlands is a last-eight showdown with Turkiye at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, which will kick off at 8pm BST on Saturday (July 6).

“I think we played a good game and showed a great reaction from the last game [a 3-2 defeat by Austria in the group stage],” said Gakpo post-match.

“I am very pleased. Especially after the last game we needed a reaction and today was a good step in the right direction.

“We talked a lot about the aggression, the intensity and defending like a team. It was a good step and I am very happy we won.”

Gakpo scores in Netherlands defeat to Austria

Cody Gakpo was on the scoresheet for the Netherlands as Group D concluded at Euro 2024 on Tuesday afternoon.

The Liverpool forward netted early in the second half for his country – who were captained by Virgil van Dijk, with Ryan Gravenberch an unused substitute – as they were defeated 3-2 by Austria in Berlin.

The Dutch fell behind in the sixth minute as a result of a Donyell Malen own goal, but Gakpo brought them level with his second strike at the tournament.

He collected a pass to the left of the box, stepped inside a defender and curled an assured finish into the opposite corner of the net.

Austria regained the lead just shy of the hour mark, however, as Romano Schmid met a cross with a header that went in via Stefan de Vrij.

The Netherlands restored parity for a second time in the game when Memphis Depay controlled a knockdown and looped the ball home.

But Austria then found a winner, with Marcel Sabitzer thumping in from a narrow angle – a goal that gained his nation top spot in the section and consigned the Dutch to third place.

Elsewhere in the same group, Reds defender Ibrahima Konate was an unused substitute for France as they drew 1-1 with Poland in Dortmund, where Kylian Mbappe and Robert Lewandowski each scored penalties.

France finished in second spot and therefore know they will face the to-be-confirmed Group E runners-up on July 1.

As a best third-placed finisher, meanwhile, the Netherlands must now wait to discover their opponents in the last 16.
