Liverpool defender Joe Gomez says Virgil van Dijk's influence on the team is bordering on immeasurable.
Sunday's 2-0 victory over Manchester United, which extended the Reds' lead at the top of the Premier League to 16 points, was kick-started by Van Dijk's towering early header.
“I'm buzzing for Virg. Everyone knows how happy I am when he scores and it's nice for us to put work in in training on those set-pieces and then they come off," Gomez told Liverpoolfc.com.
“I don't think it's easy to measure what he does for us as a team. He's such a dominant character, a dominant player. He's a special player and we're lucky to have him at the club - he's my big brother! He's a top player and a top person to be alongside."
He added: “No-one's getting ahead of themselves or thinking any further than the next game and that's what's most important about this team. We've got so many characters in the dressing room as well as the manager to keep it like that. It's just about keeping our heads down, focusing and cracking on."
