The centre-back doubled his tally for the club in the space of three minutes in the final stages of the Premier League encounter at Anfield, following Sadio Mane’s first-half brace and Divock Origi’s strike.
“It was a great performance overall, we dominated and had a lot of great possession,” Van Dijk told Sky Sports post-match.
“Especially in the first half, we played very well. They couldn’t really find a solution for our press. We scored some great goals and obviously it was very nice to be on the scoresheet.”
The win maintained the Reds’ position as the Premier League’s leaders, with the gap still one point to Manchester City, who claimed a 1-0 success against West Ham United.
Van Dijk insisted the Liverpool players are blocking out the fervent discussion about the title race, with their concentration simply on producing this kind of performance level for the remainder of the campaign.
