However, despite Alexander-Arnold being the usual free-kick taker, fans were pleasantly surprised with Van Dijk’s efforts and have given him their approval for future set pieces.
According to Sport Bible, many fans took to twitter to argue why the 28-year-old has not been given the chance at Liverpool, having scored some superb free-kicks during his time at Celtic.
One supporter commented: “Van Dijk scored some absolute beauties in a Celtic shirt! Should defo take some if the direct free kick.”
While another simply wrote: “Virg should take them in games.”
The defender managed to net three free kicks during his two years in Scotland, before moving to Southampton during the 2015/2016 campaign.
In the footage, you can witness the defender curl the ball into the top left corner of the net as Andy Robertson cheers him on from the edge of the pitch, before then running into the training complex.
