Dutch forward Cody Gakpo has avoided a ban from the FA in relation to a "religious message" during Liverpool's title celebrations.

The potential punishment relates to his goal celebration during the victory over Tottenham which saw Liverpool crowned champions, but he has simply been served a reminder of what is and is not permitted.



After scoring a first-half goal against Spurs, Gakpo took off his shirt to reveal a vest bearing the words "I belong to Jesus".



The same message was revealed by Brazil and AC Milan star Kaka back in 2007 when he helped the Rossoneri beat Liverpool in the Champions League final.



Gakpo was shown a yellow card by referee Thomas Bramall - the standard punishment for a player removing their shirt in celebration, regardless of any message revealed.

He and his club were formally reminded of the laws of the game, but no further punishment was issued, and Liverpool.com reports that the FA has written to Gakpo to remind him of the rules too - also with no further punishment to follow.

Gakpo has spoken publicly about his Christian faith in the past.

Everywhere you can become a better person and in my opinion you can become closer to God through that guidance."

The 25-year-old's goal against Tottenham was his 17th of the campaign, taking him one clear of his tally from last season.

Mohamed Salah added a fourth during the second half, and the scoring was completed via a Destiny Udogie own goal.

"I think from the moment we arrived on the bus everyone could feel that we were never going to lose this game," manager Arne Slot told Match of the Day.
