Virgil van Dijk has refused to be drawn on an incident involving him and Emmanuel Emegha in Liverpool’s Carabao Cup fourth-round clash against Chelsea on Wednesday night.
The Dutch striker came on for his senior Blues debut midway through the second half at Anfield, and within a few minutes he initiated a bizarre tussle with his compatriot.
After the Reds captain played the ball backwards to Trey Nyoni, the Chelsea substitute charged straight at our number 4 and shoved him to the ground, with the pass having been made at least a second earlier.
