‘He can pass the ball, calm as you like… He’s Virgil van Dijk… VIRGIL VAN DIJK!’
That’s how the song goes – and time and time again – the Dutchman proves as good as our word!
Liverpool beat Lyon 3-1 last night, thanks to an own goal, one from the returning Roberto Firmino and an absolute scorcher from Harry Wilson.
Van Dijk purred through the game, despite us conceding an early goal, and looked back to his very best.
This moment late on sums up the 28-year-old’s exceptional ability to carress a ball 50-yards without even lifting his foot.
We imagine we’ll see this kind of stunning pass plenty more times in 2019/20.
