Virgil van Dijk, typically known for his cool demeanour and composed style of play, had a rare lapse in concentration during the early minutes at Portman Road.
The Dutch centre-back, who usually commands the defence with precision, made an uncharacteristic error by misplacing a pass straight to an Ipswich player, putting his team under immediate pressure.
However, his defensive partner, Jarell Quansah, was quick to react, making a crucial block that likely prevented a dangerous situation from escalating. It’s precisely these types of risky passes that Arne Slot has previously criticized, cautioning against the dangers they pose to the team.
