Calm as you like

Liverpool needed that, and Van Dijk will be more relieved than most after that mix-up with Robertson.

The captain nods home from Mac Allister's corner, and he sends a message to the crowd as he points to the Liverpool badge on his shirt and kisses it.

Think we can take it that contract is as good as signed then!

VAR check

There was a VAR check for a potential Liverpool penalty, with the ball hitting James Ward-Prowse on the arm from a corner.

There wasn't much of an appeal from the Liverpool players, with Ibrahima Konate the only one to have really noticed it.

In any case, the check is over, no penalty.

Close!

What a goal that would have been!

The ball ends back with Mac Allister after he takes a corner.

He sends the ball in towards goal, and it almost creeps in under the crossbar before Areola manages to tip it over.
