Liverpool news: Who needs Virgil van Dijk? Liverpool’s two best players were their centre-backs according to Dream Team ratings
Anfield club have shelled out a whopping £75m to bring in the Dutch defender - but do they even need him?
LIVERPOOL may have just splashed out a whopping £75million to sign Virgil van Dijk - but don't forget about Dejan Lovren and Ragnar Klavan.
The two centre-halves were the star men during the dramatic 2-1 away win at Burnley according to The Sun's Dream Tream Ratings.
Klavan bagged the winner deep into stoppage time as Jurgen Klopp's men secured a vital three points in their Champions League quest.
The Estonian was rated at 7.8 for his performance - but Lovren went one better.
The much-maligned former Southampton centre-back scored an impressive 8.27 against the Clarets.
One of the two are expected to lose their place to Van Dijk - but Klopp may have a selection dilemma ahead of him.
Klavan was Liverpool's unlikely hero as he spared Klopp's blushes at Turf Moor.
The German boss made a host of changes on a miserable day in East Lancashire - but Klavan's last-gasp winner made it four wins out of five in the Premier League.
