FT: Liverpool 2-1 West Ham
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk speaking to BBC Match of the Day about his winner: "It felt beautiful for multiple reasons. It was the winner, quite late in the game but also a set-piece and we've been struggling a little bit with scoring from set-pieces which is something I feel responsibility for because we work on it a lot but today, we got one."
On whether it was a mark of a side that is winning the title: "There was still time to make it right. We got it done, we got the three points and now we move on, take what we did well - especially in the first half and focus on Leicester. They are obviously in a difficult situation but we have to be so good in order to get a result there and that is the most important thing that we will focus on right now."
On whether it was a "mixed bag" of a performance: "It's not only about us, we were playing against a team that has quality to punish you. Paqueta and Kudus were making a lot of good things happen. You have to give credit to them. It's not like we didn't try or work hard enough, we just played against a team that has good quality to punish you. We saw when they played Arsenal away that they can punish an opponent and today was the same. It's about how much work you put it and I think we did that pretty well."
On when we are likely to hear about a new contract for him: "I don't know."
