I feel like we’ve lost again; it’s our responsibility, he told the BBC.We should have scored more goals because we had so many opportunities.

In spite of being down 2-1, we managed to score a tonne of goals.

Van Dijk and his teammates knew they should have punished United with a goal before Jarell Quansah’s poor pass allowed Fernandes to equalize.

‘We sҺоulԀ Һаve been 2-0 up аt leаst, but in fооtbаll unfоrtunаtely if tҺese tҺings Ԁоn’t Һаppen yоu give tҺem tҺe feeling tҺey cоulԀ figҺt bаck аnԀ it ҺаppeneԀ.’ TҺe ԀutcҺmаn mentiоneԀ tҺe numerоus wаsteԀ cҺаnces in tҺe first Һаlf.

Van Dijk seemed indifferent when asked whether his error had any lasting effects on Quansah.

In his opinion, he should not feel bad about it. “Football is a sport where mistakes are inevitable; the key is to learn from your mistakes.”
