In a recent match, Virgil van Dijk displayed an outstanding defensive performance, earning praise from Premier League icon Alan Shearer.
The Reds secured a convincing 3-0 victory over in-form Brentford, with goals from Mohamed Salah (2) and Diogo Jota. Te Bees had arrived at Anfield on the back of three consecutive wins, but Jurgen Klopp's men effortlessly brushed them aside, moving into second place in the Premier League table.
This win also positioned the Merseysiders as the closest rivals to league leaders Manchester City, setting the stage for an exciting showdown between the two teams later this month.
Since his season-ending injury in 2020, the Dutchman has faced criticism and doubts about his return to peak form. However, Shearer believes that the Liverpool captain is now back to his best.
"He did have a good game. He looked back to his best, he read the game very well.
"They are always going to score goals Liverpool, with the talent they have up top." admitted the pundit via The Rest is Football Podcast.
