Robertson warns Man City that Liverpool history could repeat itself – ‘The last time it happened’

The Reds missed out on a second Premier League crown of the Jurgen Klopp era on Sunday, being edged out by City. However, it is not the first time Liverpool have lost out by a point.

Liverpool eventually beat Wolves 3-1, but they stayed second after City came back to win 3-2 in stunning fashion.

“First of all, gutting, of course it is,” Robertson added. “We have been beaten by fantastic champions, nobody can argue that.

“Man City are a great team. But the
