van Dijk scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-2 victory against Atlético Madrid.

van Dijk scored a header in second half stoppage time, giving Liverpool a fifth late winner in the last five matches. It was a brilliantly worked goal from a corner, and a prime example of how good van Dijk is in the air. He remains one of the best defenders in the world, stout defensively and with a good nose for goal from set-pieces.
