Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to mock Harry Maguire, after Virgil van Dijk dominated him in the air to net the opening goal in Sunday's meeting with Manchester United.The physical Dutchman leapt highest in the 14th minute to put Jurgen Klopp's side in the lead, jumping over Maguire and Brandon Williams to power the ball past David de Gea.
While, one presumes, a goal of this ilk might not usually get that much coverage given its simplicity, the fact that Maguire is the only defender in history to cost more than Van Dijk means that a reaction has been sparked amongst the Liverpool fans on Twitter.
As has been well documented, the England international cost the Red Devils a world-record £80m fee from Leicester, whereas Van Dijk cost £75m when arriving from Southampton.
As a result, it seems like the Liverpool fans on Twitter enjoyed seeing United's No.5 get obliterated in the air by their huge No.4...
To kick off the reaction, these two supporters highlighted the difference in quality between the two centre-backs.
One fan - with the username '#6times' said that the pair are "worlds apart" whereas the other supporter said "imagine paying £80m for this guy" before using a laughing emoji to mock the former Hull man.
An animal-related theme was on show from these two supporters, who mentioned a rat, lion and a mouse when comparing Maguire and Van Dijk.
One fan with the username 'J45' laughed at the United man for being beaten in the air, before - perhaps unnecessarily - calling the 26-year-old a "rat".
Elsewhere, Scott said that he doesn't want the two defenders uttered in the same sentence ever again, before saying that they have about "as much in common as a lion and mouse".
Lastly, these two supporters continued to mock Maguire.
Call yourself a Liverpool expert? How much did each of these big-money January signings cost?
One said that the world's most expensive defender "can't sniff Virgil's shoes" whereas the other called him a "tiny little man" in comparison to the "titan" that is Van Dijk.
In other news, these Liverpool fans have been discussing "typical Ev behaviour" after this 28-year-old's goal...
