Van Dijk Breaks Sunderland’s Fortress at Stadium of Light—Can Liverpool Keep the Momentum?
Virgil van Dijk’s header earned Liverpool a 1-0 victory over Sunderland, getting them back on track in their push for a top-four finish in the Premier League.
Liverpool suffered a heartbreaking late defeat to Manchester City last time out, but have now moved within three points of the Champions League places.
Captain Van Dijk got the decisive goal in the 61st minute, heading home from Mohamed Salah’s inswinging corner to end Sunderland’s unbeaten record at the Stadium of Light.
Sunderland may have gone ahead early on, with Brian Brobbey seeing his first-time effort blocked by Ibrahima Konate before Florian Wirtz sparked the visitors to life.
