Virgil van Dijk hails camaraderie in Liverpool's back line

Liverpool's impressive climb to the top of the Premier League has been built on the foundations of a solid back-line in which every defender regularly makes a key contribution, insists Virgil van Dijk.

Van Dijk, who joined the club from Southampton in January for £75million has become the lynchpin of a defence that has conceded only seven goals in 19 matches and helped Liverpool move six points clear.

However, the Holland captain said the camaraderie in Jurgen Klopp's side has played a major role in helping unbeaten Liverpool tighten up at the back as they look to claim a first English title for 29 years.
