I just read that Van Dijk is hunting a record tonight. If Liverpool remains undefeated, it will be his 59th home game without a defeat and he would equal Lee Sharpe's United record.
I usually don't pay much attention to personal milestones like these but this one clearly shows how instrumental Van Dijk is for Liverpool's defence and overall success. He hasn't lost a single PL game at Anfield since his arrival.
They achieved that record and then some with an absolute 6-0 trashing of Leeds.
I thought that at 4-0 they were done and while the substitutions were being sent on for the final 4 minutes of the match, Mo Salah and Sadio Mane were looking to the sidelines wondering why they were still on the pitch. But I doubt they minded.
But they weren't done and put in two more goals in the last few minutes of the match left.
Truly a momentus occasion for the LFC squad as they are only within 3 points to the leaders on the board.
Today's looks like a blister of a match with Wolves versus Gunners.
I am hoping for a home side win but the Wolves are on the hunt and haven't lost a match in awhile.
