Anfield Watch Verdict

Van Dijk is such a presence when he is inside the opposition penalty area. The centre-back stands at 1.93m, so we aren't surprised when he finds the back of the net directly from a corner.

Overall, Van Dijk is having a good season. The Dutchman has been averaging a WhoScored player rating of 7.15 in the Premier League.

Hopefully Van Dijk can continue his good form and propel Liverpool forwards for the remainder of the season.
