Virgil van Dijk has called for togetherness from his Liverpool teammates in the aftermath of their 2-2 draw with Everton in the last Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.

A last-minute James Tarkowski equaliser meant the Reds dropped two points, but the club's captain has encouraged the team to move on.

Despite being seconds away from going nine points clear of Arsenal atop the Premier League table, the gap still grew to seven with 14 games to go.



That is what Van Dijk is now keen for the team to focus on.

Several teammates heeded the message with Alexis Mac Allister, Conor Bradley, Curtis Jones, Ryan Gravenberch and Tyler Morton liking that post alongside Jordan Henderson, who Van Dijk succeeded as the club's captain.

We go again."

Dominik Szoboszlai, Jones, Morton and Van Dijk all commented with emojis in response.

The former three, Bradley, Darwin Nunez, Ibrahima Konate, Kostas Tsimikas and Wataru Endo also liked the post.
