Liverpool have finally received some positive news on the contract front, with Virgil van Dijk electing to sign a new deal with the Premier League leaders.

The Belgian made a string of fine stops in the second half to keep the Reds at bay and earn his side a point. Van Dijk added: "We should have won, could have won but the reality is we take a point at a difficult ground, a difficult evening, in terms of the toughness of the game.

"If nobody is ready for a bumpy ride then this season will definitely be one."
