This is 100% spot on. There is no bias here as the ball went into the net but the fault lay with MacAllister. The defence was exposed due to him getting badly caught wrong side. The thing to do, which Van Dijk does most of the time, is cover off the higher percentage goal chance and show faith in keeper if shot goes on target. Also, it’s not as if it was Messi on the edge of the box with time, Caicedo isn’t exactly known for rifling shot into the top corner now is he? It’s a cracking strike.
I know people love to point the finger at any sort Van Dijk fault because of how he gets lauded so much but it’s clutching at straws to say the least to blame him for that goal. One would argue that you’d want to have some sort of personal agenda against him to arrive at that conclusion.
