Virgil van Dijk shows his true colours with response to Jarell Quansah howler



Virgil van Dijk has insisted Reds team-mate Jarell Quansah should not dwell on his mistake that gifted Manchester United a goal


The two Premier League giants met at Old Trafford and Jurgen Klopp's side were well aware that a win at the home of their fierce rivals would send them top


the best Liverpool could manage was a 2-2 draw that saw the lead change hands, with the Reds going 1-0 up thanks to a Luis Diaz strike early on.




United's first goal saw their captain arrow one home from just inside the Liverpool half, but it stemmed from a Quansah error.


The Anfield academy graduate was guilty of a sloppy sideward pass that allowed Fernandes to catch goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher off his line.


Van Dijk has insisted that Quansah cannot be blamed for Liverpool dropping points


The Dutchman was asked if Quansah would be impacted by his mistake:



Van Dijk


"He shouldn't. Mistakes happen in football everyone who has a career in football makes mistakes you can only learn from it."


Van Dijk added


“It feels Like a loss, it is our fault again.”


"We had so many chances and we should finish the game off. Unfortunately the individual mistake that happened with the equaliser and we had so much time to put it right, but we were in a rush.


“Still after being 2-1 down we created so much."


Van Dijk claimed


“We should have been 2-0 up at least, but in football unfortunately if these things don't happen you give them the feeling they could come back and it happened."
