Virgil van Dijk is currently in a battle with Lionel Messi for the Ballon D'or trophy, whose winner is set to be announced this Monday in Paris.

Against Brighton, he displayed why his Ballon d'Or trophy chances are justified. The Dutch International had the best game of his season for Liverpool, where he scored two match-winning goals, helping Liverpool to extend their lead to eleven points in the Premier League.

The timing of these goals was very important as the front three of Liverpool didn't have their best day and Van Dijk ensured that the Reds don't miss their famed front-three.

Defensively, he was a rock at the back for the hosts. He made 5 clearances in the game and was dominant in the air, as usual. He also made one crucial tackle in the match for the Reds.

Van Dijk's form will be crucial for Liverpool and their dream of winning this year's Premier League trophy.
