The Virgil van Dijk moment that silenced Anfield and had Liverpool fans fretting

Liverpool could not be enjoying a better Friday evening as they cruise to victory at home to Huddersfield Town to eventually sit top of the Premier League table.

But there was one moment in the second half which pulled on the heartstrings of, it seems, every Liverpool fan who witnessed it.

The club's bedrock and PFA Player of the Year, Virgil van Dijk , suffered what looked to be a serious injury when he went down.

The whole of Anfield went quiet as they wondered what was wrong. But then, the towering centre-back rose up to roars from the Liverpool fans.

It was a big moment. Despite leading 4-0 late in the game thanks to goals from Sadio Mane (2), Naby Keita and Mohamed Salah, losing Van Dijk for any period of time between now and the end of the season would be a huge blow.

But the good news is he's fine. That didn't stop some hilarious reaction on Twitter from Liverpool fans.
