Gary Neville observed that one Liverpool player appeared visibly upset during their victory over Tottenham.

 

During the match where Liverpool triumphed over Spurs, Gary Neville noted that one player seemed visibly upset.

 

Liverpool achieved another remarkable Premier League win, defeating Spurs 6-3 in a thrilling encounter.

 

The Reds showcased their superior quality, particularly through a standout performance from Mohamed Salah, securing three vital points and extending their lead over Chelsea in the league standings.

 

Neville expressed admiration for Trent Alexander-Arnold’s assist for Luis Diaz’s opening goal, noting that Liverpool dominated the match from the outset, with Tottenham’s strategies proving ineffective against the league leaders.

 

However, Virgil van Dijk seemed displeased following Tottenham’s first goal, scored by James Maddison.

 

During Sky Sports’ coverage, Neville highlighted Van Dijk’s frustration, as Liverpool players believed a foul should have been called in the lead-up to the goal.

 

Neville remarked, “Alexis Mac Allister is on the ground and he wants a free-kick; he got himself in a tangle, and James Maddison capitalizes on it.

 

“Van Dijk is appealing for a foul, but he won’t receive one, and he is not happy.”

 

Despite Dominik Szoboszlai scoring shortly after Maddison’s first-half goal, Liverpool faced little threat of a comeback from Tottenham, especially given their current form.

 

Van Dijk’s reaction underscored his commitment to defensive excellence, particularly as Alisson Becker had a challenging game, conceding three goals that could have been prevented. Van Dijk’s frustration with the defensive performance is certainly justified.

 

Liverpool has been a source of excitement in the Premier League this season, and their recent victory over Tottenham further solidifies Slot’s team as the leading contenders for the title.

 

Nonetheless, Van Dijk is justified in his frustration regarding Liverpool’s defensive display in north London, as conceding three goals is far from acceptable, even with the Reds netting six in response.

 

This season, Liverpool’s defense has ranked among the best in Europe, and Van Dijk understands that he and his fellow defenders must improve if they aim to secure the Premier League title under Slot’s management.
