Van Dick is clearly pleased with his strike, and the Dutch fans present will certainly enjoy the fact that he is proving to be on a little walk around the park for their team.
Memphis Dipey also scored twice for Oranger, firing in the opener from the penalty spot before adding two seconds a few minutes later.
Virgil Van Dijk recently signed a new Liverpool deal
Van Dick can focus on playing his best football with his national team after a recent resolution of his future at Liverpool.
The 33-year-old Captain LFC won the Premier League title of the season, but the entire campaign was also full of stories about the future of several Key Reds stars.
Van Dick was nearing the end of his contract, but alongside Liverpool teammate Mohamed Sarah, he was to sign a new (confirmed on the club’s official website in April) contract.
However, Trent Alexander Arnold allowed him to run out of his deal, and he left Anfield for a move to Real Madrid.
