Virgil van Dijk sends message to Liverpool fans after poor performance vs Leeds

mirror.co.uk:

Virgil van Dijk has given fans his verdict on Liverpool's opening game of the season - during which his howler gifted Leeds United an equaliser.

Jurgen Klopp's Reds got their Premier League title defence off to a winning start in a seven-goal thriller at Anfield. But they needed a late Mohamed Salah penalty to secure a 4-3 victory as promoted Leeds threatened an upset.

Hat-trick Salah had fired Liverpool into an early lead before Van Dijk did his bit, scoring a bullet header to make it 2-1 to the champions.

But the Dutch defender then undid his good work when he failed to control a ball into the Reds' box, allowing it to run on for Patrick Bamford to slam home Leeds' second equaliser.
