Latest Liverpool news: Fans applaud Virgil van Dijk in 0-0 draw against Everton
Liverpool handed Manchester City the initiative in the Premier League title race. The Reds were held to a 0-0 draw to the delight of the Everton fans at Goodison Park.
Mohamed Salah had two glorious chances to score but squandered them while Fabinho had a chance in the second half but some resolute defending from Everton kept them in the game.
The Blues tried their best to break down the Liverpool defence, but they faced a colossal Virgil van Dijk. The Dutchman seemed to be everywhere and barely gave a whiff to the Everton attackers.
Big Virg stands up for Liverpool
The draw was a disappointing result given that so much rode in the game. We needed to win to keep City behind us, but now the Premier League title race is in City’s hands.
All they have to do is keep winning and it is all over for us. Liverpool didn’t do enough in the final third but Van Dijk was phenomenal at the back.
The former Southampton defender was easily the best player on the park, and had it not been for him we would have come out with a loss.
The attack fluffed their lines, the midfield did too but Van Dijk was excellent alongside Joel Matip, and that was the silver lining for some fans from this game.
van dijk literally is the best player itl and top 5 players itw this season

Immense performance from Van Dijk. Man of the match. What a player he is. Every single point is so valuable to Liverpool right now, they have that man to thank for that 1 today. Phenomenal. #EVELIV #LFC

Obviously lots of negativity – this is twitter, Liverpool didn’t win and we’re now a massive one point behind Man City – but Virgil Van Dijk was an absolute colossus today, as good a central defensive display as you’ll see in a Merseyside derby #LFC #EVELIV #MerseysideDerby #EPL

Van Dijk was absolutely colossal, the rest of the outfield players were disappointing in the end

Disgraceful performance, feels like a loss. van Dijk is the only one of them that can hold his head up after that. #EVELIV
— FINAL BOSS. (@BowserLFC) March 3, 2019
We need a team of Virgil Van Dijk’s. Rest of them have lost their heads & let it all get to them. Klopp too – selections/subs in recent weeks been so costly

Virgil van Dijk has been phenomenal today. Absolutely everywhere in defence. That £75m looks like a complete bargain. #EVELIV #LFC
