Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk praised his team for another excellent display at home.

The Reds were eventually able to beat Sheffield United 3-1 at Anfield on Thursday in the Premier League.

Despite being pegged back in the second half, Van Dijk knew their quality would shine through.

Speaking to TNT Sports post-match, Van Dijk stated: "We could've gone behind quite early in the game.

"We have to start games much better, much more aggressive and that's something we have to work on.

"It says a lot about the team, the resilience, how we bounce back and how we could change the game. That's what happened today as well.

“Obviously going from a draw and changing it around in the last 15 minutes is a great thing and at this stage as well it's all about the points, you can't drop any."
