Yesterday, Liverpool sank on the pitch at the Emirates Stadium. The Reds lost an important match against Arsenal (3-1) in the title race. Guilty on the Gunners’ second goal due to a disagreement with goalkeeper Alisson, captain Virgil van Dijk (32) recognized his error and took responsibility for the defeat. The central defender learns from this failure and is already thinking about the future.

“I take full responsibility for this goal. I should have done better and made a better decision, it hurts. Not only for me but also for the rest of the team. It was a turning point in the match. We had chances, we dominated. I should have cleared the ball but I made the wrong decision. These things don’t happen that often but I will get over it and deal with it. I’m not looking for excuses. I’ll try to make sure that never happens again.”, declared the Dutchman. He and the Reds will be expected at the turning point against Burnley next Saturday, during the 21st day of the Premier League.
