Van Dijk nets double as Liverpool surge 11 points clear

LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND: Liverpool hung on after having goalkeeper Alisson Becker sent off to beat Brighton & Hove Albion 2-1 and extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to 11 points thanks to two first-half headers from defender Virgil van Dijk.

The towering Dutch defender acknowledged Alisson's sending off was a blow ahead of Liverpool's Merseyside derby at home to Everton on Wednesday and also praised Brighton."We put him in that situation but it is what it is. We have to deal with it. It is a disappointment but we go again."They are a good side. They play football and take risks. It's not easy. We should have gone better than we did in the second half but you have to give them credit as well.

Brighton goalkeeper Mat Ryan denied Sadio Mane with a fine reflex save but was powerless when Van Dijk made his run to meet Alexander-Arnold's corner at the near post. Then came a frantic climax as Alisson was sent off in the 77th minute for handling the ball outside the penalty area.
