Gary Neville Calls Virgil van Dijk's Performance 'a Joke' in Liverpool's Derby Draw With Everton

Manchester United legend Gary Neville has heaped praise on Virgil van Dijk after his performance against Everton, saying that the Liverpool defender was 'absolutely outstanding'.

The Netherlands captain has been a rock at the back for the Reds all season and has helped his club keep 17 clean sheets in the Premier League already.

Liverpool were underwhelming in their stalemate against the Toffees, but Van Dijk put in a Man of the Match performance to help Liverpool on their way to a clean sheet.

"I thought Van Dijk’s performance was a joke," Neville said on his Sky Sports podcast (via the Metro).
