Van Dijk reminds Liverpool to maintain focus after Merseyside derby win

Virgil van Dijk emphasizes the importance of maintaining a champion’s mentality for Liverpool after securing victory in the Merseyside derby — The Reds defeated Everton 1-0 at Anfield.

The Premier League matchweek 30 fixture was decided by Diogo Jota’s solitary goal in the 57th minute — this win further solidifies Liverpool’s position at the top of the standings.

A 12-point lead over Arsenal puts Liverpool in an ideal position to claim the 2024-2025 Premier League title — however, the captain reminds his teammates not to become complacent.

“We are in a good position, but we must stay focused and cannot be careless. Many matches remain and we must maintain our champion’s mentality,” said Van Dijk.
