Liverpool midfielder Wijnaldum tribute to Van Dijk during Holland victory

Liverpool midfielder Gini Wijnaldum paid tribute to Virgil van Dijk during Holland's victory over Bosnia.

Wijnaldum struck twice in the 3-1 win.

First he drove into the box to connect with a low cross from Denzel Dumfries, then the 30-year-old was in the right place at the right time to tap home from a Steven Berghuis header into the box.

And both times Wijnaldum paid tribute to injured club and country team-mate Van Dijk by putting his right hand under his chin and wiggling his fingers.

It's the celebration Van Dijk uses when he scores, with Wijnaldum giving a clear nod to the defender, who could miss the rest of the season following successful surgery on a ruptured ACL.
