Welcome to life as a Liverpool defender.
Virgil van Dijk’s Liverpool career was just a couple of minutes when Yannick Bolasie left him for dead. The Everton winger, who loves to simply get the ball and run at defenders, knocked it around the Dutchman before being stopped in his tracks.
For his first one-on-one in a Liverpool shirt, it was a reasonably inauspicious start for the club-record signing.
To rub salt into the wounds, Bolasie stuck his tongue out in a cheeky fashion towards van Dijk after the move broke down.
Bolasie isn’t always effective, but he is always fun.

A few minutes later, the Congolese winger was challenged brilliantly by Andy Robertson. The Everton man thought he’d done enough to win a corner and when the linesman pointed to the quadrant, his reaction sums up why we love watching him.
