Virgil van Dijk described his pride in Jurgen Klopp’s young team as they defeated Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.
In a lively affair at Wembley, the Dutchman looked to have given Liverpool the lead in the second-half before his header was ruled out for offside following a review from VAR.
Van Dijk would again be at the heart of the action in extra-time, heading home from a corner at the death to secure his first silverware since succeeding Jordan Henderson as the club’s captain.
Speaking following the game he insisted Liverpool’s young team had done themselves proud.
‘All the young boys on the pitch. It’s incredible. So proud of the team. Intense game for both sides. They had chances, we had chances. Amazing, first trophy as a Liverpool captain. Let’s enjoy it.’
