Liverpool were tied 2-2 by Manchester United. Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk admitted that he was disappointed with the result and hoped that the team could learn lessons from the game.
Liverpool was leading 2-1 in the match, but in the last 10 minutes of the match, Amad Diallo scored to help Manchester United equalize the score. In the end, Liverpool did not score any more goals and the match ended in a draw.
In the post-match interview, Van Dijk said: "If we are honest with ourselves, the result could have been worse. The opponent had a big chance before the end of the game. If that goal was scored, the situation might be worse than it is now."
"I am disappointed to drop points at home but that is the reality and we have to move forward and we will. We are 2-1 up and then it is about managing the game and keeping the ball more, not Three or four passes and then a turnover.”
"Sometimes we concede the ball too easily and that leaves us more exposed. We are not perfect and we are still learning. We have to learn from this game as well."
Liverpool currently has 46 points in the Premier League and continues to rank first in the standings, 6 points ahead of Arsenal in second place. When the reporter mentioned Liverpool's ranking, Van Dijk said: "We will only focus on the next A game, not looking at the league rankings. "
Liverpool's next Premier League game will be on January 15, away to Nottingham Forest. Before that, Liverpool still have the Carabao Cup semi-final and FA Cup to play.
