Virgil van Dijk reveals exactly what he said before Anthony Gordon was sent off

Virgil van Dijk has spoken on the red card challenge from Anthony Gordon, which referee Simon Hooper upgraded from a yellow card upon a Video Assistant Referee review.
Asked post-match on Sky Sports about the challenge, Van Dijk got straight to the point on what he thought of the challenge at the time:
“Well, I said to him, if this is not sending off, then I don’t understand football.
“So I think it was already strange that the referee has to go to the monitor. But listen, unfortunately these things happen in football. “If you meant it or not, it happened. We move on.”
