Liverpool fans have reacted on Twitter to a clip of Neco Williams in pre-season training.

The 20-year-old could be seen making a last-ditch tackle on Divock Origi who was through on goal.

Liverpool fans praised Williams for his lung-busting efforts, but itโ€™s what happened after that also caught the supporters eyes.

Virgil van Dijk, alongside a few other Liverpool players, was watching the action from the sidelines.

As soon as Williams made the tackle, Van Dijk put his hand up to congratulate him.

But Williams didnโ€™t see the towering centre-back to his left and instead โ€˜airedโ€™ his fellow teammate.

Liverpool fans joked that he shouldnโ€™t do that again, whilst others are urging him to continue working hard.

Thereโ€™s no doubt that Trent Alexander-Arnold is Liverpool main man in that right-back spot.

But Williams will be hoping Jurgen Klopp will offer him more game time than previously because the Welshman is craving those minutes.

Impressing in pre-season will help him a lot, as Liverpool supporters reacted to a clip of him in training:
