Virgil van Dijk was as delighted as anyone to see Joel Matip score for Liverpool in their Premier League match against Leeds United.
Matip surged into midfield with the ball at his feet before finding Mohamed Salah on the right side of the 18-yard area and the ball was played back into his path by the Egyptian.
The defender finished with the calmness of a striker to double Liverpool's lead on the half hour mark. Salah scored twice from the spot, Mane also got a brace and Van Dijk netted himself in the 6-0 hammering of Leeds. A result that takes the Reds to within three points of Man City in the title race.

Van Dijk is good friends with Matip and made a beeline for his defensive partner to celebrate his goal.
The Dutchman dived on his team-mate in sheer joy and then was seen lifting the back of his shirt up to show the Liverpool fans Matip's name.
Indeed, Van Dijk was keen to remind supporters just how good his team-mate is, despite him not getting wider recognition outside of Reds fans.
Matip has made many marauding runs this season and has looked close to rounding one of them off with a goal, but the ball just hadn't dropped kindly for the big centre half until now.
But this time he finished the job - leaving Liverpool fans and team-mates delighted.
