Round-upWorld Cup: Van Dijk, Henderson and Alexander-Arnold into last 16
Three Liverpool players advanced to the last 16 of the World Cup on Tuesday.
Virgil van Dijk captained the Netherlands to a 2-0 victory over hosts Qatar in their final Group A game, a win that secured top spot in their section.
