Virgil van Dijk scoffed at Troy Deeney’s suggestion that Liverpool are on course for an unprecedented quadruple following last night’s 4-0 demolition of Tottenham. Arne Slot’s relentless winning machine comfortably overturned a one-goal deficit at Anfield last night as Spurs were put to the sword in ruthless fashion.

Speaking on Sky Sports after the contest, Jamie Carragher was so impressed by Van Dijk that he stated that the 33-year-old is the greatest defender in the history of the Premier League, and it is not even a debate.
