Arsene Wenger has claimed that Virgil van Dijk was at fault for Barcelona's opening goal at the Nou Camp on Wednesday night.

The former Arsenal manager has pointed the blame at this season's PFA Players' Player of the Year after he allowed Luis Suarez through to score in the first half.

Jordi Alba sent in a defence-splitting cross which Suarez timed his run perfectly to nip in and steer it past Alisson in the Liverpool goal – but Wenger insists Van Dijk should've done more.
