Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk was delighted helping Holland reach next year's World Cup.

Holland's 2-0 win against Norway last night secured direct qualification.

Van Dijk said, "We had to show a reaction after the last match, and we did. Of course, there are still many things that can be improved, but the result was the most important.

"We are going to Qatar.

"I'm so proud of this team. We showed character and it has not been easy to fight back after the 2-2 result in Montenegro."
