Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has vowed to carry on "protecting" his team-mates after stepping in on Mohamed Salah's behalf when Arsenal's Sokratis Papastathopoulos confronted him during the Reds' 5-1 win on Saturday.
Sokratis approached Salah at half-time after the latter was awarded a penalty at the former's expense, leading to a heated confrontation with Van Dijk that continued into the tunnel.
Per the Mirror's Liam Prenderville, he said:
"I saw that he went to Mo and was saying that he dived. He was attacking him a bit, but I wanted to say he didn't dive.
