Clean Sheet and Victory Complete Van Dijk's Perfect Week

The Dutchman was in his best performance against the Clarets when Liverpool recorded a 3-0 result at Turf Moor, their 13th win in a row in the Premier League.Given a very complicated trip to Burnley, Van Dijk was very pleased with the way the Reds finished their work.
"Before this it was a difficult match and I think everyone who came here knew that," player number 4 told Liverpoolfc.com after the final whistle.

"They have a clear plan, play straight, take advantage of the second ball and I think we handled it pretty well. I am very happy to bring three points with us and win a clean sheet."

"They continue to do what they always do, 2-0 is a little dangerous because if they score one goal they will be excited and believe, so I think they held fast to that belief in the second half and it was clear after we scored to make it 3-0 , the game is over. "

Van Dijk traveled to Monaco in the middle of this week for the Champions League group stage draw, where the annual UEFA award was given to him.

The center back also won the Defender of the Season prize before being announced as the Player of the Year, defeating Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo for the award.

"It was a special night," he said. "It went pretty fast, I had to focus directly on the match against Burnley and I'm glad we took three points."
