Virgil van Dijk insists 'there is no reason to panic' about Liverpool defence after West Brom comeback

Liverpool's defensive errors in last weekend's Premier League draw with West Bromwich Albion was a one-off occurrence and is not really a concern, defender Virgil van Dijk has said ahead of Tuesday's Champions League semi-final first leg against Roma.

Liverpool had managed six clean sheets in their last 10 league matches before their trip to the Hawthorns but squandered a 2-0 lead as West Brom scored two late goals to snatch a draw.

Despite the defensive lapses, Van Dijk dismissed any worries about the Roma tie, saying Liverpool would regain their shape and composure against the Italian side.
