Van Dijk Breaks Sunderland’s Fortress at Stadium of Light—Can Liverpool Keep the Momentum?
They were probably deserving of the three points, accumulating 1.95 expected goals (xG) from their 23 attempts, though they only got three of those on target. Sunderland, by contrast, tested Alisson twice from their 11 shots (worth 0.66 xG).
And it was a big moment for Van Dijk; he scored his 23rd Premier League goal for Liverpool, moving him one clear of Sami Hyypia (22) as the defender with the most goals in the competition for the Reds.
The Dutchman was excellent defensively, too, making a game-high 14 clearances.
