Maguire told Sky Sports that it “meant everything” to get the win.
“It has been a long time coming to come to this ground and pick up three points,” he said.
“The old cliche is that it is only three points, but it definitely isn’t – it means a lot more than that for the club, the boys and the fans.”
Van Dijk told Sky Sports that Liverpool need to stick together to get through such a difficult period.
“It is an interesting time because we have to stick together, not just us as players but as a club and the fans who want us to win,” Liverpool’s captain said.
“We need to stay humble, stay working and keep our confidence as high as possible. When things get tough, it is important we keep the mentality of being there for each other. It is a long season,” he said.
In Sunday’s earlier Premier League game, Emi Buendia’s curling shot sealed a 2-1 comeback win for Aston Villa against Tottenham.
