Virgil van Dijk says Liverpool ‘shouldn’t panic’ over Community Shield defeat

Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk (left), pictured challenging Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka, says the champions should not panic over their Community Shield defeat against the Gunners at Wembley.

Virgil van Dijk says Liverpool “shouldn’t panic” after their Community Shield loss, especially having bounced back from defeat in last year’s match by romping to the Premier League title.

Arsenal emerged victorious at an empty Wembley on Saturday evening, with Mikel Arteta’s men winning 5-4 on penalties after Jurgen Klopp’s men had come from behind to draw 1-1 in normal time.
