'No point getting ahead of ourselves'

Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has been speaking to Sky Sports about the result: "I think Manchester City is a fantastic team. [They are] four-time champions in a row. They have the quality to punish any team, but I think we were solid defensively and had great chances.

"We could have scored more. It was a good game. We won and we move on.

"We focus on the next game. That's the only thing we can do. There is no point, at this stage of the season, getting ahead of ourselves.

"Of course everybody wants to be in a position where they are 11 points ahead of their opponents, but there are so many twists and turns.

"We have injuries to our team unfortunately, and we have to deal with that."
