Speaking to the club's official website, Van Dijk took responsibility for the concession of the opening goal and also explained how Brighton equalised late on:
"It’s not only [Alexis Mac Allister being tackled], it’s me as well, it’s a risky ball. But obviously, we try to play out from the back and unfortunately, these things could happen in football and you get punished immediately, it's the highest level.
"Miscommunication [led to the second goal]. I think Robbo heard a shout and he thought it was Alisson, it’s a miscommunication and shouldn’t happen. But nobody wants to make mistakes.
