Virgil van Dijk’s goal in the 100th minute secured victory for Liverpool on their first visit to Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Liverpool’s official website stated that this performance was chosen as the best performance in all matches of the English Premier League, the English Championship League, the First Division, and the Second Division.
Liverpool is going through a difficult season, as the team occupies fifth place in the English Premier League with 55 points, a full 25 points behind leaders Manchester City. The team also exited the Champions League in the quarter-finals, and also lost in the two cup tournaments in England.
Van Dijk led Liverpool to victory over Everton
Last Sunday, Liverpool captain Van Dijk scored a goal with a header in the tenth minute of stoppage time in the second half, leading his team to a 2-1 victory over host Everton in the English Premier League in the first Merseyside summit match held at the new Hill Dickinson Stadium.
In the last Merseyside match he played before his departure from Liverpool in the summer, Mohamed Salah opened the scoring in the 29th minute when Everton lost the ball easily, and Cody Khakpo passed it to the Egyptian player inside the penalty area, and he calmly shot it past Jordan Pickford.
Everton equalized through Beto, who scored from close range nine minutes after the start of the second half.
But Van Dijk’s late header from a corner kick gave the visitors all three points.
