Virgil van Dijk goes viral every time a striker runs past him, which happens quite rarely – so it’s only fair to share his moments of central defensive greatness, too!
The Dutchman started alongside Dejan Lovren tonight v Genk in the Champions League, with his usual partner Joel Matip injured.
In the 11th minute, Genk played a dangerous ball down the flank, but van Dijk left the attacker with zero chance.
In fact, it was a similar situation to the one on Sunday when he slipped v Marcus Rashford – showing that even the very best learn from mistakes!
