Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has admitted to ignoring Jurgen Klopp's advice during the Reds' draw with Fulham at the start of the season.
The Reds drew 2-2 at Craven Cottage on the opening weekend, with Darwin Nunez scoring on his Premier League debut but Aleksandar Mitrovic netting twice for the London side. It was part of a slow start to the season from last year's runners-up, who have failed to win any of their five away league games so far.
Van Dijk has been a regular this term, and has been an important player for Klopp since signing in January 2018. However, he has revealed he declined to follow instructions from the boss as the clock ticked towards full-time in west London in August.
