Liverpool defeated Crystal Palace 3-1 at Selhurst Park to cut Manchester City’s lead at the top of the Premier League. Goals from Virgil van Dijk, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Fabinho ensured all three points for Jurgen Klopp’s men.
Andy Robertson was the man of the hour. He came in for some praise from supporters, with his assist for Oxlade-Chamberlain’s goal particularly impressive.
Robertson is integral to Klopp’s system. His ability to get forward can cause chaos down the left-hand side and he proved a constant menace to Palace.
The 27-year-old has now got eight assists during 2021/22. That seems a remarkable feat considering he plays as a left-back.
Robertson has been something of a surprise package since signing from Hull. Very few would have anticipated his arrival would have such an impact on the club.
He has helped the Reds to win the Champions League and the Premier League. In a few weeks time, he will be hoping to add a Carabao Cup to his collection of medals.
Robertson has now made 201 appearances for the Reds and he’s become a firm favourite in the eyes of supporters.
What have Liverpool fans said about Robertson?
It’s fair to say they were very impressed. Robertson’s assists really caught the eye and ultimately, he’s helped his team claim a vital win.
Liverpool might not catch City this season. This was the kind of professional performance that has earned the Reds plaudits in recent times.
The £160,000-a-week Robertson was very much a man on a mission. He did little wrong and supporters raved about him on Twitter following the contest.
