Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk warned that it would be a “very difficult” battle for Champions League qualification if his side continue to play with the sense of sloppiness that has dogged their season.

Liverpool were much the better side for large swathes of the contest at Anfield, racking up 32 shots, 11 of which were on target to keep visiting goalkeeper Martin Dúbravka exceedingly busy.
