Van Dijk refuses to give up on title hopes despite Leicester loss

"I think they deserved the win but that was obviously also down to us," Virgil Van Dijk told Amazon Prime after the Leicester game.

"I think we were poor in the last third. A lot of crosses they defended well. Overall, not a good performance. They didn't create much but looked dangerous on the break which they are good at.

"We will keep trying until the very end. We created good chances but unfortunately today wasn't the day it went in the back of the net. Penalty miss, which happens. But it's disappointing.

"What can we say? We're in December. The season is so, so long. Anything can happen.

"You have seen it with Covid and injuries - lots of things can change. There's no point looking at [Manchester City] or Chelsea or the other teams around us.

"We should look at our performance today and improve. We all wanted to do better. That's a fact. We weren't good enough and they deserved the win."

Liverpool lost 1-0 to Leicester. The defeat means the Reds are points adrift of Man City.
