Michael Owen is put firmly in his place by Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk in a VERY awkward 'bitter taste' interview

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk fired back at Michael Owen after their win over Everton on Wednesday night.

Diogo Jota's goal was the difference at Anfield as the Reds went 12 points clear of Arsenal at the top of the Premier League despite a nervy encounter.

Arne Slot's side are almost certain to win the top flight, but their hopes of silverware elsewhere have disappeared in recent months.

Liverpool were knocked out of the FA Cup by Plymouth in February, while they endured a miserable week in March that saw them crash out of the Champions League at the hands of PSG before they lost the Carabao Cup final to Newcastle.
