Virgil van Dijk’s long-passes from the back are such a famous and well-practised part of his game but it doesn’t make it any less pleasing to the eye to see him do it again.
Whilst on international duty with Holland, our No.4 delivered a beautiful ball from inside his own half that found the feet of his teammate.
The Liverpool defender was given plenty of time and space in his own half but opposition stars could be forgiven for thinking that such a pass would have been beyond even the colossal Dutchman.
It’s normally Mo Salah on the end of long cross-field balls but perhaps Luis Diaz can start preparing for a well-weighted ball over the top, once domestic football returns.

90 yards????
VvD played the ball from inside the centre circle. If you made a 90 yard pass from anywhere inside the centre circle, you would be putting the ball out of play
