Liverpool defender Robertson: Any striker would be happy with Alisson's header!

Liverpool defender Andy Robertson says any striker would have been happy with Alisson's winner against West Bromwich Albion.

With seconds remaining in the game, the Brazilian rose above the pack to send a glancing header past Sam Johnstone.

"I've given up now trying to describe it," Robertson told the club's website. "This team, I've said it time and time again – of course it was maybe when we were going for titles and things like that – but we just don't know when to give up.

"We keep fighting, we keep going, we keep probing. We had some really good chances [in the] last 10 minutes and we just couldn't find the chance.

"Then you get a corner and I see Ali sprinting by me and I'm thinking, 'I'm not sure about this.' I go back to the halfway line and any striker in the world I think is happy with that header – it's unbelievable."
