Divock Origi added a third for the Reds midway through the second half with a firm strike inside the near post from the left to put the game beyond the visitors.
And Van Dijk doubled his personal Liverpool tally in the final 10 minutes by nodding in two headers at the Kop end from Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson assists.
Jurgen Klopp’s team remained one point clear at the summit, with nearest rivals Manchester City 1-0 winners over West Ham United.
