‘Different class’ – Andy Robertson hails Liverpool trio after Newcastle United win

Andy Robertson hailed three Liverpool teammates after the Reds beat Newcastle United 1-0 to return to the top of the Premier League.

The Scotland defender said: ‘Newcastle worked really hard, they’re in fantastic shape. They’re in the top ten, so we knew it was going to be difficult.

‘Luckily we got the goal and I don’t think they had too many chances after that. We had a few to kill the game off but we’re just happy with the three points.

‘Joelinton was causing us a couple of problems early on, but in the second half I thought the lads were excellent against him.

‘They started better than us but then we got a foothold in the game. We got the goal and we got a bit better after that.

‘They didn’t have many chances. I thought the two centre-backs and Joe Gomez were different class.

‘We made five changes today, but the lads that are coming in are putting in big performances. We need that between now and the end of the season.’
