Van Dijk emphasized that Liverpool is not just participating in the competition for the sake of it but to win it. He also noted that Manchester United was fortunate to escape with only three goals against them.
“It’s a proud moment,” Van Dijk told Sky Sports. “What pleased me the most was the performance from start to finish. We dominated and should have scored more. Winning 3-0 is a big improvement from last year. I’m not competing in any competition just to compete. I want to win. We came up against a very good team in Man City and Arsenal.”
Liverpool will face Nottingham Forest in their next Premier League match on September 14, following the international break.
