The captain scored a late winner against West Ham but the expected announcement of his new contract could have even greater significance

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has said he would "love" to play with Virgil van Dijk next season after the Dutchman dropped a massive hint over his future.

Virgil van Dijk scored the goal that moved Liverpool a step closer to the Premier League title and reaffirmed his love for the club as he enters the final weeks of his contract. The Netherlands international’s late header sealed a 2-1 win against West Ham on Sunday that put Liverpool within six points of a record-equaling 20th English league title.
