Virgil van Dijk has admitted his performances have been rightly criticised this season, with the Liverpool star acknowledging he has dipped below his usual high standards.

The Dutch international has been a mainstay of the Liverpool defence since joining the club from Southampton in a £75million deal back in January 2018.

Van Dijk performances were crucial to helping Liverpool to win the Champions League and Premier League.

The 31-year-old has largely received plaudits during his time at Anfield having been named as PFA Player of the Year in 2019, while also making the Team of the Year on three occasions.
