Virgil van Dijk was considered fortunate by many to stay on the pitch during Liverpool's Merseyside derby clash away at Everton on Saturday afternoon.
The Reds made the short trip across Stanley Park to a Toffees side desperate to end their miserable run of form against their greatest rivals on their own patch. A fiercely contested battle, the fixture ended up with the honours even following a 0-0 draw that saw both sides have plenty of chances.
However, it was a tackle from Liverpool defender Van Dijk that left fans and pundits alike talking after the game. The Dutchman caught Everton new-boy Amadou Onana on the shin with his studs as a result of a particularly clumsy challenge mid-way through the second-half.
