"It's the £70m man against the £80m man and the man who was actually cheapest came out on top."
Virgil van Dijk rises above Harry Maguire to send Anfield wild!

Van Dijk does well to direct his header into the back of the net, but it’s yet another assist from right-back Alexander-Arnold, who whips in a fine corner to create the opportunity.
Man Utd will have a mountain to climb now as Liverpool don’t tend to lose too many leads these days…
