Virgil van Dijk considers the 2-0 win this morning against Wolves as a boost for Liverpool.

The central defender opened the scoring with a header in the 73rd minute at Anfield, Mohamed Salah quickly added another goal to win all 3 points for the home team. The Reds have now kept four clean sheets in a row in the Premier League, picking up 10 points in that streak.

Van Dijk told Premier League Productions after the game:  “An important win, so it’s time to recover and focus for the next game. Of course we have to be patient. We had a few chances before. But in the end, a good performance, keep a clean sheet again, so that’s something to promote.’

Van Dijk has scored to clear the deadlock for Liverpool

“Winning is the most important thing at this stage, especially in our current situation. We try to ғɪɢʜᴛ every game and that’s what we did today, obviously. It was a good performance and deserved three points.”

“We will recover now and of course we will be ready for Sunday.”
