Virgil van Dijk scored twice at Anfield as the Reds demolished Watford to maintain their position at the summit of the Premier League – and he was delighted with the team’s performance.
Both of his goals were scored with his head and assisted by full-backs Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson. They were the icing on the cake for him individually after a dominating performance against Troy Deeney and Gerard Deulofeu.
Via LiverpoolFC.com, Van Dijk said: “It was a great performance overall, we dominated and had a lot of great possession.
“Especially in the first half, we played very well. They couldn’t really find a solution for our press. We scored some great goals and obviously, it was very nice to be on the scoresheet.”
