Virgil van Dijk slammed by Liverpool legends after Leeds thriller

Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk was hammered by Reds legends Jamie Carragher and Graeme Souness during their 4-3 opening day win over Leeds United.

The usually-reliable 29-year-old was punished for a loose touch on the edge of the hosts’ penalty area, and Leeds ace Patrick Bamford capitalised ruthlessly to score the equaliser in the thriller at Anfield.

Carragher said: “It’s a brilliant game. I said hopefully after 17 minutes we’d get 90 minutes of this. This could be 7-7 at the end of the game.

“Alisson is not happy, he gets between the centre backs there. Virgil van Dijk, that’s just too arrogant.”

Van Dijk headed Liverpool back in front on 20 minutes from Andy Robertson’s corner, but was caught out at the other end in jaw-dropping fashion.

Graeme Souness echoed Carragher’s scathing opinion, saying on Sky Sports: “Van Dijk has had an absolute stinker but he gets his goal here.”

A fascinating statistic from OptaJoe has highlighted a stark drop in Van Dijk’s form in recent matches for Liverpool.

The former Celtic and Southampton man has now made two errors directly leading to goals in his last four top-flight appearances, which is more than he committed in his first 154 showings in the league.

Oil prices rise amidst uncertainty over Libyan crude exports

Oil prices rose, Tuesday on uncertainty over Libyan oil exports, although plans by producer cartel OPEC to raise output loom. Brent sweet crude futures, the international benchmark for oil prices, were at 74.95 dollars per barrel at 01.04 GMT, up 22 cents, or 0.3 per cent from their last close. The United States West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were at 68.33 dollars a barrel, up 25 cents, or 0.4 per cent. Traders said prices were mostly driven higher by uncertainty around oil exports by Libya, a member of the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Eastern Libyan commander, Khalifa Haftar’s forces have handed control of oil ports to a separate National Oil Corporation (NOC) based in the East of the country. The official state-owned oil company based in the capital Tripoli, also called NOC, will not be allowed to handle that oil anymore, he said. In comments later confirmed to the media, Ahmed Mismari, spokesman of Haftar’s Libya National Army...
