WATCH: Virgil van Dijk issues savage response to Pau Torres after failing to win penalty during Aston Villa's loss at Liverpool

Premier League

Aston Villa

<p>Shortly before Liverpool went two goals up, Villa centre-back Torres appealed for a penalty following a coming together with Ryan Gravenberch. The former Villarreal man went down rather theatrically, leading Reds skipper Van Dijk to mock the big Spaniard, saying, "You're six-foot-four, mate!"</p>
