Van Djik copped some stick from football fans for letting himself get bullied by Sterling:
I'd rather have Chris Smalling on my team rather than Van Dijk and that's saying something.

Great start by City. Van Dijk caught out for trying to win a cheap free-kick...

What was Van Dijk at!?!? Premeditating a potential free away from home for no contact not the best of ideas. #mancity #liverpool

Not sure what Van Dijk was up to (and was he fouled after anyway?) but Liverpool never filled the hole he left and Fernandinho exploited it perfectly

That started when VVD was muscled off the ball by Sterling. Not strong enough from Van Dijk. Just the start the tie needed.

Shocker from Van Dijk. Has to play the whistle.

The score is poised at 1-0 to with Man City dominating possession, hitting the post as well as having a goal chalked off for offside.
