Former Arsenal star, Theo Walcott has suggested that Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk was responsible for Brighton's opener in the Premier League on Sunday. Recall that during both teams’ Premier League tie at the Amex, Brighton went ahead after 20 minutes through Simon Adingra. The Ivorian winger capitalised on a poor pass by Van Dijk

to Alexis Mac Alister with no imminent danger in sight. After nullifying a Brighton attack, Alisson played the ball out to Van Dijk. But the Dutchman opted to play a risky pass to Mac Alister, who was swarmed by three Brighton players. Mac Alister lost possession and Adingra beat Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker, who had come out to central defense to maintain the back four after Trent Alexander-Arnold had moved up field.

The Brazilian keeper failed to return to goal on time, and Jurgen Klopp’s side conceded a fairly avoidable goal. Walcott said : 'What I like about this goal is they are all waiting for the trap, they are trying to trap Liverpool. “They have all got triggers for certain areas of the pitch. But, as a player, I have been in that position where Mac Allister is, and it Is a horrible ball to deal with, and I feel as though Van Dijk recognised that he does not want it.
