Salah hits 20 as Van Dijk soars – Best photos as Liverpool secure valuable win

It was a victory we all needed, and it was goals from Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah that delivered all three points against Wolves at Anfield.

The Reds made us wait, it’s been a theme of the season but, thankfully, two goals in the space of four second-half minutes gave us reason to celebrate.

After Paul Tierney consulted the VAR to rule out Darwin Nunez‘s strike, it felt like it was going to be one of those nights, with luck against us once more.

But there would be no denying Van Dijk when he headed home his third goal of the season, Diogo Jota with the assist to make the scoreboard read Liverpool 1-0 Wolves.

And you can see how much it meant to our No. 4.

It was then Salah’s turn to take in the adulation after scoring his 20th goal of the campaign.

That makes it six seasons in a row that the Egyptian has scored 20 or more goals. Some one-season wonder he turned out to be!
