Virgil van Dijk, the defender of Liverpool, appeared in press statements after the victory over Burnley 1-0 in the fourth round of the Premier League at Turf Moor.

The player said: "It is clear that we are trying to break through the defenses of other teams. We had to be patient and ready at all times. We kept looking for the goal and opportunities until the end. The victory was deserved, but if I were in Burnley's place, it wouldn't be easy to accept the penalty decision."

He added: "In the end, it was a penalty, and Mohamed Salah executed it perfectly. He is a world-class player, and we know very well that he can make the difference in such moments."

He concluded: "The key to victory today was not falling into the trap of frustration. The match could have ended in a draw, but we got the three points and are now looking forward to Wednesday's match."
