pgzen Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk insists there is no point in getting carried away at this point in the season after the Reds beat Manchester City 2-0 at home. pgzen

The victory means the Reds are 11 points clear of defending champions City and are joint-nine points clear of second-placed Arsenal and Chelsea after 13 games.

“I think City are a fantastic team, they’ve won four in a row, they have the quality to punish any team, but I thought we defended very solidly and had a lot of chances to score, we could have scored more,” Van Dijk said.

“It was a good game, we won and we will move on.”

“We are focused on the next game, that’s the only thing we can do. There’s no point in getting carried away at this point in the season. Of course, everyone wants to be in a position where they are 11 points above the opposition, but there are a lot of twists and turns. Unfortunately, we have had injuries in the squad and we have to deal with that.” ( pgzen )
