Virgil van Dijk insisted Liverpool will simply focus on how they can improve after a 1-0 win at Tottenham Hotspur set a new record and strengthened their position at the top of the Premier League.
Roberto Firmino’s clinical first-half finish secured a victory in London on Saturday evening which, following Leicester City’s defeat earlier in the day, increased the Reds’ advantage at the summit to 16 points.
No team has ever accrued as many as their 61 points from the opening 21 matches of a top-flight campaign – a statistic Van Dijk welcomed but will not allow to distract from areas that can be tweaked for the better moving forward.
