Liverpool defender Robertson: Buzzing for the starboy

Liverpool defender Andrew Robertson was delighted for Harvey Elliott after his goalscoring return for their FA Cup win against Cardiff.

Robertson was one of several Liverpool team-mates to congratulate the 18-year-old on his comeback - but he did want some of the credit for Elliott's success.

The Scot wrote on Instagram: “A comeback, a goal (you're welcome…) and even a new chant which sounded familiar. Buzzing for the starboy @harveyelliott07 #OhHarveyHarvey

“Into the next round #YNWA"

With the Anfield crowd having sung his name to the tune usually reserved for Robertson, Elliott thanked the Scot for providing the assist for his emphatic finish.

Accompanied by laughing emojis, Elliott replied: “Thank you my man they'll only be one man to this chant and that's you.

“Cheers for the assist as well!! It's probably boring the amount of times people have thanked you for assists now but I appreciate it."
