London: So, Virgil van Dijk was really upset after the match against Tottenham. He had a chat with referee Stuart Attwell about a missed red card for Lucas Bergvall. Bergvall was already on a yellow when he took out Kostas Tsimikas, but somehow he didn’t get a second booking. And guess what? He went on to score the winning goal!
Van Dijk confronted Attwell after the game, saying it was pretty clear that Bergvall should have been sent off. He mentioned how everyone on the sidelines knew it was a second yellow. It’s frustrating, right? He said, “I told him he made a mistake, and he might not think so, but it was obvious.”
He added that while he wasn’t blaming the ref for the loss, it was a huge moment in the game. Liverpool hasn’t won in two matches now, which is a bit concerning. Van Dijk admitted they haven’t been at their best lately, especially after the draw with Manchester United.
When asked about the loss, he said Tottenham was a tough team to face. They kept pushing and running, making it hard for Liverpool. They had some good moments but just couldn’t find the back of the net. He’s looking forward to the next game back at Anfield, hoping they can turn things around.
