Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk considers their 2-0 win over Wolves as a building block.

The Reds got back to winning ways in the Premier League on Wednesday, besting the Molineux Stadium club thanks to goals from Van Dijk and Mohamed Salah.

Next up for the Reds are their arch rivals Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday.

“An important win, so it's time to recover and focus on the next one," Van Dijk told Premier League Productions post-match.

“Of course [we had to be patient]. I think we see the games we played against them this season, they have been quite tough and today it wasn't any different so we had to be patient and wait for the moment.

“We had a couple of chances before but in the end, a good performance, clean sheet again, so that's something to build on.

“Winning is the most important thing at this stage, especially in the situation we are. We try to fight each and every game and that's what we did today and [it was] obviously a good performance and a well-deserved three points."
