Virgil van Dijk satisfied with victory against Huddersfield
Virgil van Dijk was satisfied with the 1-0 victory Liverpool were able to get over Huddersfield Town yesterday at John Smith’s Stadium.
Mohamed Salah’s moment in front of goal proved to be the difference in gaining all three points, meaning the Reds are only behind league leaders Manchester City on goal difference.
Van Dijk has been pivotal in Liverpool having only conceded three goals from the opening nine Premier League fixtures, and he was pleased the defence stood up again yesterday.
“In the end it is!” Van Dijk told Liverpoolfc.com, when questioned if the result is more important than the performance.

“In the beginning you want to play good football and score hopefully as many goals as possible, but this game was to grind it out – especially at the end. I’m just happy with the clean sheet and the goal, obviously.
“Every team in the Premier League has their strengths and I think especially with their fans and a smaller ground it’s always going to be difficult. We need to learn from a lot of things [from Saturday], but at the end we should be very happy that we won – especially keeping the clean sheet.”
