Liverpool star Virgil Van Dijk aims subtle dig at Everton

The most expensive player on Merseyside Virgil Van Dijk kicked off his Liverpool career on the brightest and most memorable of notes, scoring the winner in a 2-1 F.A Cup victory over Everton in January 2018.

The Dutchman made history by becoming the first player since 1901 to score on his debut in the Merseyside derby.

Van Dijk has since guided Liverpool to back-to-back Champions League finals, winning one.

The former Southampton defender is also the reason why the Anfield outfit have won every of their eight league games of the new season, and while the Reds have continued to oversee a huge upswing in fortunes, the opposite is happening at Everton.
