Liverpool secured yet another impressive Premier League win with a 6-3 result against Tottenham.

Another highly entertaining match, the Reds’ quality was simply too much for Ange Postecoglou’s side as a Mohamed Salah-inspired performance led Liverpool to a big three points, with the Anfield side now four clear of Chelsea in the standings.

With Gary Neville amazed by Trent Alexander-Arnold’s pass for Luis Diaz’s opener, Liverpool were the better side on the day from the first minute onwards, with Tottenham’s tactics and quality simply no match for the Premier League leaders.

Yet Virgil van Dijk was seemingly furious after one moment from Liverpool’s win against Tottenham.

Van Dijk ‘not happy’ with Tottenham’s first goal vs Liverpool

Speaking on Sky Sports coverage of the match, Neville noted how Van Dijk was left angry after Tottenham’s first goal of the evening from James Maddison, with Liverpool players feeling they should have had a foul in the build-up.

Neville said: “Alexis Mac Allister is on the ground and he wants a free-kick, he got himself in a tangle and James Maddison profits from it. Van Dijk is asking for a foul but he isn’t going to get one, he is not happy.”

Indeed, with Dominik Szoboszlai scoring so soon after Maddison’s first-half strike, the Reds were in no real threat of Tottenham making an extraordinary comeback, especially with Liverpool in the type of form they are currently in.

Yet Van Dijk’s reaction showed how passionate the Liverpool defender is in trying to be perfect at the back, with Alisson Becker not enjoying his best of games between the sticks having let in three goals that could have been avoided.

Van Dijk will have every right to be annoyed by Liverpool’s defensive display

Liverpool have been the great entertainers in the Premier League this season, with their latest win against Tottenham another standout reason why Slot’s side are the strong favourites to win the title.

However, Van Dijk will have every right to be annoyed with how Liverpool performed defensively tonight in north London, with three goals conceded nothing short of disastrous even with the Reds scoring six in return.

Liverpool’s defence has been one of the best in Europe this season, and Van Dijk knows that he and his teammates need to be better of they’re to go all the way and win the Premier League this season under Slot.
