Liverpool fullback Andy Robertson has lifted the lid on his elite crossing technique.

Robertson and teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold have become integral players in helping Liverpool score goals with threatening balls into the box.

The Scotland international explained: "When I run onto it, I'm looking for that gap between the defenders and the goalkeeper.

"I know as a defender that is the space you do not want to have to defend.

"When I'm running full pelt I try and lean back a wee bit because I'm quite 'over' the ball when I run so leaning back just helps give it a bit of lift.

"You know when you hit a sweet one, one that stands out was Tottenham at home from last season, I got it out of my feet and caught it perfectly and luckily Bobby Firmino was able to get on the end of it to score.

When asked who he was looking for most when about to deliver a cross, Robertson replied: "For me, it's always Firmino or Mo, I know Sadio will probably hate me for that but.. !

"If I can beat the first man, I know somebody's got a decent chance of getting on the other end of it so I always look for the middle to the back of the goal.

"It is amazing to have great strikers in there and you know if you put a good ball in, it's got a chance.

"Our midfielders like chipping in as well, Henderson's always running in at the back post and I try and find him, I haven't quite mastered that yet but me and him are working on it!".
