Virgil van Dijk is a class act and this superb picture echoes that sentiment.

After producing heroics in goal against Napoli, Alisson was unable to replicate his brilliance on Sunday as he committed a first-half howler versus Manchester United.

He fumbled a Romelu Lukaku cross into the path of Jesse Lingard who scored to level the Premier League game.

As Lingard and Diogo Dalot wheeled away in celebration, van Dijk consoled Alisson by helping him to his feet in a great moment.

What a man.

van Dijk also had a class reaction to Alisson's superb save in the Champions League.

The Dutch defender embraced him while he was on the ground and thanked him for saving the team.

Alisson's blushes were ultimately saved over the weekend as Liverpool netted twice in the second-half courtesy of super-sub Xherdan Shaqiri, who bagged a brace.

The Swiss international regained Liverpool's lead in the 73rd minute, before doubling his personal tally seven minutes later.

As a result, Liverpool moved above Manchester City and are now a massive 19 points clear of United heading into the busy Christmas schedule.

Meanwhile, the 2017/18 Champions League finalists have been paired with Bayern Munich for a spot in the quarter-final.
