Liverpool 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur: 3 men who won the game for Liverpool | Premier League 2018-19

#1. Andrew Robertson

Liverpool FC v Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League

The Scottish left back is one of the best in the world right now and put another stellar display against Tottenham on Sunday. Tottenham had deployed Trippier as a wingback in a bid to stop the Liverpool left back’s forward runs. But as the game progressed, it was clear that Liverpool man had too much quality in him for Trippier to handle.

Robertson was tireless on the left as usual, relentless in his desire to join the attack, but responsible enough to drop back to stop the away team when required. As the game progressed though, Robertson grew in stature and became a menace for the Tottenham team.

Robertson combined well with Mane and Milner but was the star of the show himself. He was always in space to receive the balls from the midfield, run at the defense and send in crosses. From one such attacking move, Robertson sent in a gem of a ball for Firmino to head in and give Liverpool the lead.

Robertson was also crucial for his team in the back, making crucial interventions and saving Erikson from scoring with the open goal at his mercy. It was also from his ball into the box that Salah forced an error from Lloris, which led to the own goal from Alderweireld.
