Liverpool defender Van Dijk coy over role in Mane winner

Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk played coy over his role in Sadio Mane's winner against Wolves.

A VAR review decided that the ball had come off Adam Lallana's shoulder and so the goal was given, but Wolves were angry as they thought Van Dijk had handled before his long ball upfield had found Lallana in the first place.

Van Dijk was asked about the handball incident by Sky Sports and seemed non-plussed.

"I need to see it back. I can't remember it," he said.

"I heard from you guys about handball. I thought it was complaints about the handball for Adam Lallana. The game is over. What can we do? The goal stood."
