Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk’s remarkable 70-match unbeaten record at Anfield in the Premier League came to an end in Saturday night’s loss to Leeds United.
Crysencio Summerville's last-minute winner secured the points for the visitors in a shock result – inflicting the Reds first home defeat of the campaign in any competition. Rodrigo opened the scoring for the visitors early on, but Mohamed Salah ensured the game was level at the break, before the late drama.
Remarkably, this was the first game of Van Dijk’s career at the Merseyside club – whom he joined from Southampton in January 2018 – that he has been on the losing team during a league game at Anfield. Prior to the visit of Leeds, he had been on the winning side 59 times alongside 11 draws – with no defeats.
