Van Dijk celebrates Liverpool's equaliser with Mac Allister
Liverpool this Sunday evening, March 10, 2024 played an absorbing draw with visiting Premier League title rivals Manchester City at Anfield.
Mac Allister equalised with penalty after Stones scored Man City opener.
Just one point now separates top three: Arsenal (64 pts), Liverpool (64 pts), Man City (63 pts)
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk, speaking to Sky Sports:"Second half was obviously much better than 15-20 minutes in the first half. We should have closed the middle a bit better but we reacted well. We had very good chances, unfortunately we couldn't get the winner but overall bittersweet.
"Based on the second half you feel we should have won it, but they hit the post as well. It was so close.
"Manchester City has been very successful with the titles they have won and every game we have played against each other have been very intense. Every game is so difficult, they have quality all over the pitch and that is why they won the Treble last year. I respect that but the aim for us today was to win the game.
"To come away with a point is not a bad situation and we have to focus on what's next. We just have to enjoy the ride." (Adapted from BBC reports)
