"Recover and go again on the weekend. It was quite a circumstance, but to come here and to play like we did today was a well-deserved three points. I think they showed this season how difficult it is to beat them, and a lot of credit to them - it is a hard-working team. It is good to come here and for us to win and keep the clean sheet. A good match for us."
"We can't deny that it feels very big [in the race for the top four], but there are still 12 games to go. So, we have to keep improving and trying to find consistency. We have to try to stay fit, stay confident and keep improving. Recover, and we play Saturday at 20:00 [GMT] against Brighton [in the FA Cup], which is a difficult team to beat."
Liverpool secured a 1-0 win at the Stadium of Light through Virgil van Dijk's 61st-minute header, ending Sunderland's top-flight unbeaten home run.

Van Dijk praised teammates including Ibrahima Konate and Alexis Mac Allister, emphasized recovery and fitness, and stressed the need to keep improving and find consistency with 12 league games remaining. Sunderland's 14-match home unbeaten run ended.
