van Dijk’s reaction to Vincent Kompany: Manchester City ended Liverpool’s unbeaten run in the Premier League on Thursday night.
Manchester City registered a 2-1 victory over Jurgen Klopp’s side at the Etihad Stadium on Thursday night. Sergio Aguero and Leroy Sane were on target for Manchester City as the side ended Liverpool’s unbeaten run in the competition.
Liverpool, however, are still four points ahead of Manchester City in the league. However, the title race is now blown open as Tottenham are also closing in on Liverpool. Pochettino’s side sits at 3rd position, with six points behind the league leaders.

Vincent Kompany was also involved in controversy over his two-foot tackle on Mohamed Salah, and Jurgen Klopp later criticised the referee for not sending off the City defender.
A video has now surfaced where Kompany tries to joke around with Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk.
