BBC pundit says one ‘outstanding’ Liverpool player had one of his greatest ever games today

Pat Nevin has lauded one ‘outstanding’ Liverpool player after their draw with Manchester City on Sunday, claiming that he produced one of his best performances for the Reds.

Jurgen Klopp’s men gave a brilliant account of themselves in the crucial clash between two of the Premier League title contenders. Liverpool created more than enough chances to win the game. But they also ꦦrode their luck at times. Phil Foden hiౠt the bar – though he would have known little about it – and Jeremy Doku was denied by the post.

Remarkably however, it proved to be an incredibly quiet afternoon for Erling 🧜Haaland. The Norwegian had a couple of early sights of goal. However, he seemed to become more anon༒ymous as the game went on.

But once again, Virgil van Dijk was colossal at the back. Of course, van Dijk’s perfꦚormance in the recent Cꦯarabao Cup final will be remembered for years to come.

And speaking on , Pat Nevin suggested that the Dutchman stepped up in a big way once again when his 𝓡team needed him.

“Virgil van Dijk is outstanding. He is absolutely haviꦅng one of his great games. He has covered brilliantly, he has tackled when he has had to, he has read the play brill𝄹iantly,” he said.

“He hasn’t given Haaland a sniff.”

Another captain’s performance

There is dᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ🌌⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚefinitely something very special about this team this season. Liverpool look to have that extra determination to try and send their manager out in the best possible way.

And perhaps no player looks more focused than van Dijk right now. He has seen so many of his teammates sustain injuries. And yet, he has been so consistent a🌳nd so r🍬eliable.

And w🧸hen the big occasions come about🦹, van Dijk becomes a different animal.
