- Errors at the back from Alisson Becker and Virgil van Dijk proved decisive as Liverpool went down 2-1 against Arsenal at the Emirates on PL Matchday 36, thus ending their hopes of setting an all-time English points record.
- Van Dijk conceded possession inside his own half that allowed Alexandre Lacazette to cancel out Sadio Mane's opener before Alisson, too, made a similar mistake while trying to play the ball out from the back.
- Interestingly, that was only van Dijk's second error that led to a goal in 88 Premier League career outings for the Reds, having first committed such an error against Fulham way back in March 2019.
- Similarly, it was only Alisson's second error in a Liverpool shirt that led to a goal, and there lies the most uncanny bit of coincidence between errors committed by the duo.
- The Brazilian last committed a goal-conceding error against Fulham back in March 2019, the same game as van Dijk, which is truly unbelievable.
- It's imperative to say that both are among the most consistent players, not only at Liverpool, but also in the entire division, so it's understandable why the Reds get into trouble when they happen to have a bad day together.
