Virgil van Dijk explains why he didn't celebrate when Liverpool scored against Manchester City

Virgil van Dijk has revealed that he didn't celebrate Liverpool's first goal against Manchester City as he was worried that VAR will rule it out. The opener goal was scored by Fabinho in the 6th minute as Mohamed Salah doubled the lead in the 13th minute, while Sadio Mane scored the Reds' third goal in the 51st minute. Speaking with Sky Sports, Van Dijk said: "Every goal you know now you have to wait anyway, so I wasn't even celebrating I think. "But in the end the VAR gives it so you have to just keep carrying on, you can't change it anymore. I think I saw Bernardo Silva hitting it first [with his hand] and maybe Trent hit it as well. "What can I say? I can say a lot of things, but if the VAR gives it then you have to accept it." "We all know and we all feel that there's so many games left, so many things can happen between now and mid-May," Van Dijk added. "So the only thing we can do is hopefully stay fit, all of us, we need everyone, and play as well as we can. "Obviously we're very happy with the position we're in right now, but we shouldn't take it for granted – and we won't. But we have to just keep going and take it game by game." Liverpool are currently leading the league table with 34 points, 9 points ahead of 4th placed Manchester City. source - Mirror
