Van Dijk: I bear responsibility for the defeat
Liverpool captain, Dutch defender Virgil van Dijk, confirmed that he was responsible for Liverpool's 3-1 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the match, Van Dijk said: “In the end, it was a very difficult day. Of course, the second goal I bear full responsibility for, as it was a major turning point in the match. I should have done a better job. It is painful for me, and for the rest of the team.” "Team, this goal changed the course of the match."
We had chances. Arsenal is a very good team and I'm not looking for excuses. Things happen, and I take full responsibility for that. I will try to make sure these things don't happen.
