Harvey Elliott's deflected 67th-minute strike proved to be the winner after Jonathan David cancelled out Mohamed Salah's opener at Anfield.
Although Van Dijk did not get on the scoresheet, he still managed to write himself into the history books.
By featuring against Lille on Tuesday, Van Dijk equalled the record for most victories by a Liverpool player in their first 50 European Cup/Champions League appearances.
Liverpool's win over Lille took Van Dijk's tally to 35, placing him at the top alongside Phil Neal.
It is elite company for Van Dijk, especially since Neal won the European Cup a staggering four times during his trophy-laden stint at Anfield.
The result sees Liverpool seal top spot in the Champions League league phase with one game to go.
