Loads of Liverpool fans have been running the rule over the Nations League semi-finals, and they’re delighted with one moment in particular from Virgil van Dijk.
After a Cristiano Ronaldo hat-trick swept Switzerland aside on Wednesday, England squared off against the Netherlands on Thursday evening to decide who will take on the Portuguese superstar in the final this weekend.
And despite the Three Lions taking an early lead thanks to a Marcus Rashford penalty, the Dutch fought back to take it in extra-time, winning 3-1 after a 1-1 scoreline saw the 90 minutes extended.

The PFA Player of the Year dropped yet another near-flawless performance, winning four aerial duels while also completing 94.7% of his passes (as per WhoScored).
Reds fans only care about one moment though, as their number four utterly destroyed Manchester City’s Raheem Sterling after the winger looked to have gotten away from him.
