Virgil van Dijk had a priceless reaction to Alisson's match-winning save against Napoli last night.
The Brazilian was barely involved at Anfield but when his team needed him, boy did he produce. Jurgen Klopp told BT Sport's Des Kelly that he had "no idea" how Alisson pulled off the last-gasp stop to deny Arkadiusz Milik.
The Poland striker was played through on goal in stoppage time in what was a massive chance for the visitors.
He controlled the ball superbly but saw his effort from point-blank range denied by the heroics of Alisson, who made himself big.

Napoli then had the ball in the net shortly after but the linesman's flag had already been put up and Liverpool could breathe.
And as soon as there was a break in play, Van Dijk embraced his goalkeeper while he was on the ground and thanked him for saving the team.
Had Napoli scored that, they would have stole Liverpool's spot into the round of 16 draw and so you can see what the save meant to Van Dijk.

Liverpool boss Klopp also shared a moment with his goalkeeper after the game and then claimed he'd have paid double for the former Roma man given how good he's been.
The Reds' splashed out ยฃ66.9 million on him, which was a world-record fee for a goalkeeper at the time. He's since kept 12 clean sheets and conceded just 13 goals in 22 games in all competitions.
And last night's heroics caused Klopp to make the hilarious claim when he spoke to Jamie Carragher for Danish TV.
