Virgil van Dijk was trying his best to reel through all the goals from Liverpool in Sunday's 7-0 win over Manchester United when he was forced to temporarily pause his post-match assessment.
As the Reds centre-back was attempting to lavish praise on the likes of Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo, who all scored two goals each to help secure a truly historic result against their fierce arch-rivals, Van Dijk eventually had to make a concession.
"I don't even know all the goals by the way!" he smiled midway through the post-match chat, with the endless celebrations seemingly whirring around his mind's eye. It was that sort of day; one that defied any sort of cutting-edge analysis or expert explanation. It was simply an unforgettable afternoon that was there merely to be enjoyed from the home side's perspective.
