Liverpool captain Van Dijk: Victory at Burnley a very good result

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk was left happy after their 2-0 win at Burnley.

Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota scored for the visitors on the day.

Van Dijk said: "Obviously [it's] very important. It's very important to get three points here. It's been a very intense nine [or] 10 days, with four difficult games and different challenges. I think we did very well. Obviously it was a bit of chaos after [Harvey Elliott's] goal was disallowed. But overall I'm pleased with the performance, I think we played well and we move on.

"I don't think it was a lot of luck, to be absolutely honest. It's never easy, they play at home and they won their last game, so they have a bit of confidence as well and we have to be very good and ready to suffer. I think we were good with the changes we made.

"Like I said, it was the fourth game in nine [or] 10 days, so I'm very pleased with the result.'
