Liverpool stays on top

Goals from Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister earned Liverpool a 2-0 victory over Newcastle United.

It was the fifth game in the span of 15 days for Arne Slot’s side, who are now unbeaten in 24 league matches.

“I think it was a good performance; offensively, defensively,” said the Liverpool captain after the game.

“What I enjoyed the most, and what I like to see, was the last 20 minutes and how we controlled the game in possession and let them run.”

“I think we did that well. It is the most difficult thing to keep running behind the ball and trying to win the ball but if you have the ball then you can create the open space and more chances and I think we did that in a good way.”

Van Dijk says “nothing decided yet” on Premier League title race

There was a celebratory atmosphere at Anfield as the fans inside the stadium sang, “We’re gonna win the league.”

However, Van Dijk remains confident that he and his teammates will not rest their laurels.

Liverpool coach Arne Slot praised his team’s mentality for avoiding complacency despite edging closer to the Premier League title.

“They can sing whatever they want,” Van Dijk said.

“We have to deal with that. It was a good atmosphere today like always and we have to make sure that definitely the rest of the games here will be an amazing atmosphere and we have to keep going.”

“We definitely enjoy the atmosphere. There is no ‘almost there.’ There are 10 more games to go for us and nothing is decided yet. Until it gets decided we don’t get carried away whatsoever.”

“I’m going to be the boring guy in that sense because I’m going to say ‘Onto the next, keep calm,'” he added.

“You have to enjoy winning games but not for too long as you play almost every three days. Now we have a little gap. That’s the only thing we have to do, prepare for the next.
