Virgil van Dijk explains defensive errors in Liverpool draw with Brighton

Van Dijk played a poor pass that led to Brighton's opening goal in the 2-2 draw at the Amex Stadium.

The under-hit pass was cut out by Simon Adingra who then caught Alisson Becker out with a fine effort.

Liverpool fought back to take the lead but had to  settle for a draw, dropping points for the second game in a row.

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.
