Virgil van Dijk came up with a moment of magic to send Holland into the UEFA Nations League semi-finals.

The Liverpool defender has been handed the captain's armband by Ronald Koeman and led by example against Germany.

Van Dijk had endured a tricky night with Germany leading 2-0 thanks to goals from Timo Werner and Leroy Sane.

But Quincy Promes gave the Dutch hope before Van Dijk levelled the scores in added time with a stunning goal.

He spun inside the area and lashed a stunning volley past Manuel Neuer in the Germany goal to spark wild scenes among the Dutch players.

The goal continues Van Dijk's remarkable run of form with many believing the Liverpool man is the best central defender in the world.

Van Dijk remains Liverpool's third-choice skipper behind Jordan Henderson and James Milner but has worn the armband on occasions this season.

And some Reds fans think he deserves to be permanent captain after his heroics on international duty.

The Dutch will now head to Portugal for the semi-finals of the UEFA Nations League.

Ronald Koeman's side will face the hosts, England or Switzerland in the last four next summer.

The draw for the semi-finals will be held in December.
