Van Dijk Admits Wind Played Part In His Error Before Bournemouth’s Opener 🌬️⚽

Van Dijk, speaking after the match, said the strong wind affected his ability to control a long ball over the top, which was then worked back into the box and allowed Bournemouth to take the lead. Although he didn’t see the error as a massive problem in isolation, he acknowledged it wasn’t ideal for his team to be behind so early. �

“The initial goal was tricky to read in those conditions — the wind was making the ball unpredictable,” he said. “Conceding that wasn’t great, especially so early in the game.” �

Liverpool ultimately fought back through Van Dijk himself and a brilliant Dominik Szoboszlai free-kick to level the contest, but Bournemouth snatched victory deep into stoppage time — leaving the Reds frustrated and winless in the league so far this year. �
