Another header: defender Van Dijk records an unbelievable statistic

The Nations League match between Greece and the Netherlands, which ended in a 2-2 draw, hides an impressive statistic. A statistic concerning the Netherlands defender Virgil van Dijk.

The Liverpool footballer has scored his first goal of the season, which is his 22nd consecutive headed goal. Over the last 4 seasons, of 23 goals scored in total, Van Dijk has scored only once with his feet.

With the goal he scored in the 59th minute, the centre-back paved the way for the Netherlands’ equaliser, as they had been losing 2-0 until that moment. The equalising goal was scored at the end by Tijjani Reijnders. Van Dijk’s tendency to score with his head has also prompted irony from fans, who wrote on social media: “Tell him you can score with your feet too!”
