(VIDEO) Van Dijk almost repeats Gerrard's meme. Only a miracle saved him from scoring

An absolutely incredible moment occurred in the 33rd round match of the English Premier League between Liverpool and Crystal Palace at Anfield.

In the middle of the second half, Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk slipped in the center of the field, allowing Jean-Philippe Mateta to break through one-on-one with the goalkeeper. Crystal Palace's forward chipped the ball over Alisson, but Liverpool was saved from conceding by an unbelievable run and jump from Andy Robertson, who cleared the ball literally off the goal line. At that moment, the visitors were already leading 1-0 thanks to a goal by Eberechi Eze.

This episode strongly resembled the legendary moment of Steven Gerrard when he slipped in a match against Chelsea, allowing Demba Ba to score. That was 9 years ago when Liverpool also contended for the championship until the very end of the season.

Before the match against Crystal Palace, Liverpool held the third place in the Premier League, with Arsenal only ahead on additional metrics.
