Virgil van Dijk headed Liverpool to a record-extending 10th English League Cup trophy by securing a 1-0 win against Chelsea at Wembley on February 25. The centerback’s goal in the 28th minute of extra time settled a tense clash that had ended 0-0 in regulation.
It clinched an eighth piece of major silverware for Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool and ensured he will not end his final year at the club empty-handed.
“You should always savour the good moments, this is definitely one of them,” Van Dijk said. “I’m so proud, proud to be part of this club and especially proud of the boys.”
