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 return to the team since suffering a cruciate ligament injury 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.
