Van Dijk – who earns £180,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com – was not too impressed with the way Everton fans celebrated the final result.

The 27-year-old Netherlands international central defender told The Mirror: “Yes of course (we are disappointed). We deserved the three points and it says a lot that they are celebrating. We had chances to win the game and did not finish them off. We go again.”
