Liverpool defender Van Dijk was subjected to online ridicule after he was humiliated by Fc Red Bull Salzburg, Hwang Hee-chan during a UEFA Champions League match on Wednesday night.
Mo Salah scored a late winner for the Reds to win 4-3 after they had thrown away a 3-0 lead. Sadio Mane, Andrew Robertson, and Salah had given Liverpool a comfortable lead inside the first 35 minutes before Hee-Chan Hwang, Takumi Minamino, Erling Braut Haaland scored for the visitors to level up matters.

Of Salzburg’s three goals, Hwang’s strike has been the subject of discussion online. The South Korean international picked the ball outside the area, raced inside the penalty area. He feigned a shot and the Liverpool man went all out to block only for the forward to humiliate him with a left-foot cut back before firing past Adrian.
Supporters of rival clubs have been having a field day online trolling the Dutch national team captain who has been in his best form since joining the Reds from Southampton. The former Celtic man had a wonderful 2018/19 season and won the FA player of the year gong. He was backed to win the Ballon D’or which was eventually won by Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi.
Liverpool fans have been raving over their number four with some labeling him the best defender ever in the English Premier League and on Wednesday night, rival fans were given an opportune reason to taunt the 28-year old.
How did Van Dijk turn from a Ballon d’Or contender to a Dutch Johnny Evans?
