Naby Keita has earned huge praise from Liverpool teammate Virgil van Dijk.

The Guinean scored his second goal for the club in Tuesday night's Champions League quarter-final win over Porto.

It has taken time for Keita to settle at Anfield, but van Dijk has never doubted the midfielder's quality.

"He's a fantastic player, we see obviously him day in, day out," the Dutchman told reporters at Anfield.

"I'm just happy for him. He's starting, but to score two goals in two games is very pleasing for him and very important for all of us."
