Van Dijk: Unfortunately, we did not take advantage of what Salah did
Virgil van Dijk, Liverpool defender, commented on his team’s 2-2 draw against its host Brighton, this evening, Sunday, in the eighth round of the English Premier League.

Van Dijk said in statements after the match to Sky Sports: “We came here to win, and we had the opportunity to achieve that, but it ended in a draw. It was a difficult and open match at times, but looking at our team we had the opportunity to win.”

He commented on Brighton’s first goal after his incorrect pass: “The mistake was not related to him (McAllister) alone but to me as well. There was a risk with the ball. We are trying to build from the back. These things are likely to happen and we will be punished, but we showed a great reaction in the comeback.” “.

Considering the importance of Mohamed Salah, the scorer of the Reds’ two goals, he added: “Clearly, he is a very important member of the team, whether on or off the field. Unfortunately, what he provided was not enough for our victory.”

Regarding Brighton player Pascal Gross not being sent off in the penalty kick shot won by Liverpool, he explained: “I was curious to know the reason behind him not receiving any card. I did not watch any replay on the field. We got a penalty kick and scored, and the referee did not show any yellow card or “Red, and we have to accept that.”

He concluded by talking about Brighton’s equalizer: “There was an error in communication. In general, I am proud of the team. We will go to the international break and will return for two very exciting matches.”
