Liverpool fans very excited after new signing’s showing on international duty

What a goal

Looks a bargain.

Andy Robertson’s move to Liverpool was not even in the top three pieces of business pulled off by the Reds over the summer.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s deadline day switch, Mo Salah’s arrival and the agreement to bring in Naby Keita next season made far more headlines than Robertson’s £10 million transfer from Hull.

Most supporters felt the left back would be no more than a squad player but he’s quickly convincing them that he’s ready for a regular starting spot.

Robertson started for Scotland on Friday night in their crucial World Cup Qualifier victory in Lithuania and he put breathing space between the sides with a spectacular goal on the half hour mark.

Five minutes after Stuart Armstrong opened the scoring, Robertson claimed possession deep in his own half courtesy of a throw-out from goalkeeper Craig Gordon.

Robertson then proceeded to feed teammate Matthew Phillips before busting a gut to get into the box.

James Forrest was aware of Robertson’s presence on the edge of the area and he duly teed him up to curl home a sumptuous finish to make the score 2-0.

And once Liverpool fans found out just what the 23-year-old was capable of, they had a new player to get excited about.
