The terrible penalty conceded by Van Dijk (video)

In distress in the league, with a terrible series of six defeats in seven games and a slap against Nottingham Forest (0-3) at Anfield on Saturday, Liverpool has so far managed to stay the course in the Champions League, notably beating Real Madrid (1-0) the previous day.

Unfortunately for the Reds, their meeting got off to a very bad start this Wednesday evening against PSV Eindhoven. On a defensive set piece, Virgil van Dijk, unbalanced in an aerial duel, committed a fairly obvious hand, and the referee did not hesitate to call a penalty.

The Croatian Ivan Perisic was quick to deceive Mamardashvili and open the scoring (0-1, 6th).
