Latest news:
Virgil van Dijk was delighted to ‘make it right’ with a winner against West Ham United that put Liverpool six points away from the Premier League title.
The Reds captain produced an 89th-minute headed goal in front of the Kop to secure a 2-1 victory at Anfield on Sunday and move his side 13 points clear with six games remaining.
Just moments earlier, Van Dijk had been involved in a communication mix-up with Andy Robertson, leading to the latter conceding an own goal to cancel out Luis Diaz’s first-half opener.
“I heard him [Robertson] shout but listen, these things unfortunately happen. Obviously there was time to make it right and luckily we did,” Van Dijk told Sky Sports post-match.
“We train a lot on it and I try to be important. Finally today I could score the winner. On to the next.”
The No.4 continued: “I can tell you I’m very proud today to captain my 100th [league] game for Liverpool. It was an emotional day because of the Hillsborough anniversary.
“The main focus was to get three points and get a step closer to all of our dreams – not only us as players and staff but the whole of everyone connected to Liverpool FC. That’s the main thing.
“Everyone knows how much I love this club and let’s see what next week will look like.”
Mohamed Salah had followed up the news of his contract extension with Liverpool by setting up the opener for Diaz with a classy outside-of-the-boot pass across the area.

Liverpool XI
Manager: Arne Slot
Arne Slot took up the position of Liverpool FC head coach on June 1, 2024, having agreed a deal with the club after the end of 2023-24.
The Dutchman joined the Reds from Eredivisie side Feyenoord ahead of the new season, replacing Jürgen Klopp at the helm following his decision to step down following nine years in charge.
Slot arrived at Anfield after three highly successful campaigns with Feyenoord, during which he led them to the league title in 2023 and was named Eredivisie Manager of the Year on two occasions.
He also helped the Rotterdam club to victory in the KNVB Cup in April 2024 after they defeated NEC Nijmegen 1-0 in the final.
Prior to moving to Feyenoord, Slot held the position of AZ Alkmaar head coach, and he had led them to second place in the table, trailing leaders Ajax only on goal difference, when the Dutch season was cancelled due to COVID-19 in 2019-20.
During his playing career, he operated primarily as a midfielder, turning out for FC Zwolle, NAC Breda, Sparta Rotterdam and PEC Zwolle before hanging up his boots in 2013.
Slot is the first head coach of Liverpool FC from the Netherlands.
