Heads up
Virgil van Dijk won’t let Liverpool’s draw at Aston Villa distract them from their tough upcoming fixtures.
The 2-2 draw at Villa Park saw them fail to go ten points clear at the top of the Premier League.
It’s only the eighth match Liverpool have failed to win in the league this season and with Manchester City around the corner, Van Dijk isn’t dwelling on the dropped points.
“A bit disappointed but we fight,” he told TNT Sports.
“We had chances to win the game, took a bit of a risk at the end so it got more open at times. We take a point and move on and focus on a big one at the weekend, again.
“In possession we did quite well, created good opportunities to score the second. Disappointing to concede from a set-piece. We tried everything and unfortunately it wasn’t enough for three points.
“We should have scored 3-2, but credit to Aston Villa, they made it very difficult.
“We have a very tough one on the weekend again, then we play Newcastle, our focus now will be on Man City, a very difficult game, we know that.
“Do everything in your power to win games, the focus will be that on Sunday again.”
