LFCTV's 'Review Show' broke down the statistics behind Virgil van Dijk's terrific display at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.

The captain led by example in Liverpool's 2-1 Premier League win at Molineux, which was clinched by a Mohamed Salah penalty after Ibrahima Konate's first-half opener was cancelled out by Rayan Ait-Nouri.

Van Dijk led Arne Slot's side statistically for touches, passes, accurate passes, final-third entries and clearances.

Analysing the No.4's display on the show, which can be watched now, former Reds striker Neil Mellor said: "He was the best player on the pitch for me. He is absolutely magnificent.

"The most touches of any player on the pitch – 93 in total. You can see that he had quite a lot of work to do in his own box.

"The stats also [show] he had the most passes [and] completed 92 per cent of them. He was absolutely superb."
