Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has praised defender Virgil van Dijk's composed display during Sunday's 2-0 Premier League victory over Southampton as the Dutchman returned to St Mary's for the first time since his move to Merseyside.
A section of Southampton supporters booed Van Dijk, who joined the Saints in 2015 before completing a big-money move to Liverpool last month, upon his return but the 26-year-old handled the jeers admirably to help Klopp's side ease to a win.
'He did really well and dealt with the situation fantastically,' Klopp said. 'We had a little talk before the game, asking him what he thought - 'No, I'm fine, boss'.
