Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has praised team-mate Ronald Araujo after the Reds beat Brighton 2-0 at home on Sunday.

Liverpool established a two-goal lead early in the match before defending patiently to secure the victory. Their performance also kept out the Premier League’s most prolific attack.

Speaking about Araujo’s contribution, Van Dijk said: “They love that at Anfield.”

Araujo is currently on loan at Liverpool from Barcelona until the end of the season, with the club holding an option to make the transfer permanent.
