Mistakes usually only happen to Virgil van Dijk once in a blue moon, and Fulham certainly benefitted amid a rare-off day from Liverpool’s usually-peerless captain last time out at Craven Cottage.
So, as you might imagine, Rodrigo Muniz’s sublime strike during Fulham’s 3-2 win over Liverpool last Sunday had the phrase ‘Bergkamp-esque’ doing the rounds all over social media.
Muniz plucked the ball out the sky beautifully.
And, in one swift move, the Fulham number nine outfoxed Virgil van Dijk before slotting past Caoimhin Kelleher.
Having been given quite the runaround by Everton’s Beto in the Merseyside derby too, Arne Slot is the first to admit that Van Dijk has enjoyed better spells in a Liverpool jersey.
Though the Dutchman is not, of course, the only Liverpool player who endured an afternoon to forget in West London.
Andy Robertson gifted Alex Iwobi his 32nd minute strike.
Performances such as this still need to be eradicated before Konate can also be considered a bonafide Premier League great.

Arne Slot replaced the former RB Leipzig ace with the returning Conor Bradley, meanwhile, with 67 minutes on the clock at Craven Cottage.
He explains that this was less a comment on Konate’s performance, and more a reflection on the creative qualities Bradley could bring to the table with Liverpool two goals behind.
“[But] he has improved in his build up.”
While Liverpool are set to tie both Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk down to new deals, discussions to extend Konate’s contract are ongoing.
He is entering the final 12 months on his deal at Anfield.
