Liverpool fullback Robertson: Alisson key to defeating Southampton

Liverpool fullback Andrew Robertson blames poor finishing for part of their problems this season.

Against Southampton on Saturday, Sadio Mane scored in the first half and Thiago added a second in the closing stages to steer the Reds to victory at Anfield.

"Creating chances haven't been a problem, it's just been that final bit putting it away," said the left-back.

"We've not taken enough chances. When you keep missing them, teams get confidence from that. We are creating. Today we were clinical."

Robertson also reserved special praise for Liverpool's man-of-the-match goalkeeper Alisson, adding: "Luckily Alisson made a few important saves but we kept the ball well and I thought we deserved the three points."
