IT was a night to remember for Liverpool fans at Anfield as they did just enough to get through to the knockout stages of the Champions League.
A memorable 1-0 victory against Napoli was enough on the night to make sure the English club got out of their group.
Chris Sutton who was watching the game had a lot of praise for one man in particular and that was Virgil van Dijk.
Now the worlds most expensive defender, the Dutchman shows no signs of letting that price tag weigh him down and it might even be spurring him on.
The former Celtic defender has proved to be an inspired signing for the Merseyside club – even at the price they got him.
Chris Sutton described the former Celtic man’s display as ‘verging on ridiculous’ after the game on Tuesday night.
Virgil is verging on the ridiculous with his level of performance… people forget he was developed at Celtic and Neil Lennon signed him for just £2 million…

As soon as Neil Lennon brought Virgil in, you could see how great a player he was from the off.
Many people in Holland couldn’t believe the bargain Celtic got when they brought Virgil in from FC Groningen.
Ronny Deila also managed the player and has spoken about getting the player fit and prepared for life in the Premier League.
