# Liverpool: Fans hail Virgil van Dijk after Netherlands goal

**A number of Liverpool supporters have been showing their admiration for Virgil van Dijk after he scored for the Netherlands on Monday evening.**

Jurgen Klopp’s men return to Premier League action this weekend, having not played since the thrilling 2-2 draw at home to Manchester City.

The Reds make the trip to Watford on Saturday lunchtime, looking to avenge the shock 3-0 defeat at Vicarage Road in the title-winning 2019/20 season.

One player who could be vital for the Reds is Van Dijk, who has made an [impressive](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/95408/Show/Virgil-van-Dijk) return to the team since suffering a [cruciate ligament injury](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/54590771) a year ago this coming weekend.

The 30-year-old was in action for the Netherlands on Monday night and found the back of the net in their 6-0 win at home to Gibraltar, as highlighted by Liverpool’s [official Twitter channel](https://twitter.com/LFC/status/1447654244660678663?s=20).
