Newcastle United 2-3 Liverpool: 6 Men who won the game for Liverpool

#4 Andrew Robertson

Newcastle United v Liverpool FC - Premier League

The Scottish Left back has been one of the best fullbacks in the world this season. Robertson has been effective in both ends of the park this season and he has been a vital cog in Klopp’s tactics as they piled the pressure on Manchester City. Against Newcastle too, the left-back was in his brilliant best.

Robertson bossed the left side of the field and dealt with the threat of Perez with admirable efficiency on most occasions. He also made a string of crucial clearances to keep the away side in the game. Robertson ensured that Liverpool were rarely caught out on the Newcastle counter attacks, but he did not hold back whenever Liverpool went out to attack.

The left-back was out of his ranks in a flask and never needed any invitation to bomb forward. Robertson combined well with Mane and sent in one brilliant cross after another all night. He was full of running and was always available for the ball. He even aimed good long balls to unleash his forwards during counters.

Stellar at the back and full of running up front, the left-back was vital for Liverpool on the night and helped them win the game.
