Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk: A nice evening for Holland

Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk was happy to be part of Holland's World Cup qualifying win against Turkey.

The Oranje thumped Turkey 6-1 last night.

Van Dijk told De Telegraaf: "All in all, it was a nice evening.

"There is no doubt about that. The next two important matches are only in a month's time."

He added: "We must be happy for our first half.

"If we lost the ball, we got it back quickly after a good pressing game. We also showed that against Montenegro."
