Virgil van Dijk hit back at Michael Owen over his analysis of Liverpool ’s season after the 1-0 victory over Everton on Wednesday night. Arne Slot ’s side have restored their 12-point advantage over Arsenal at the top of the Premier League as Diogo Jota sealed the win in the Merseyside derby at Anfield.

Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk caused disbelief during the Merseyside derby with an error so uncharacteristic it had never been seen before.

While it wasn't necessarily exciting for large parts, Liverpool moved 12 points clear again at the top of the Premier League table by beating Everton. With eight games remaining, it is surely an unassailable advantage.
