Virgil van Dijk was perhaps Liverpool’s best player in the Merseyside derby on Sunday.
The Reds failed to collect all three points at Goodison Park and were forced to settle for a 0-0 draw. Van Dijk, however, turned in a colossal performance at the heart of the Reds’ defence.
Per WhoScored, Van Dijk won 10 aerial battles, two tackles and made 13 clearances as the Reds were forced to deal with a number of Everton attacks.
The centre-back has been in excellent form all season and has been central to his side’s defensive effort; they have conceded just 15 goals in 2018-19, the fewest in the Premier League.
The 24-cap Dutchman’s latest display merely confirmed what many Liverpool fans have known for a while – he is perhaps the best defender in the top-flight.
And loads of fans were quick to point that out on Twitter after what was, ultimately, a disappointing result for the red half of Merseyside.
