Liverpool fullback Andrew Robertson has shrugged off praise from Jose Mourinho after victory over Manchester United.

The United boss said he was “tired just looking at Robertson" who he described as “absolutely incredible".

Typically, the modest full-back was keen to deflect the praise on to others.

“It is just part and parcel of my game, I will keep on going until the end," he said.

“I got a bit of space, particularly second half and the gaffer is always banging on to me and Trent (Alexander-Arnold), more so this season, that we have to be more involved and I just tried to do that.

“Special mention goes to Clyney, being out for so long and my God, he did brilliantly. He has had his struggles with injury but he put in a first-class performance and that just sums up our squad at the minute.

“It was a very controlled performance by all of us. We just had a blip five minutes before half-time but other than that we controlled the game and deserved the win.

“We struggled against United last season. They beat us comfortably at Old Trafford and I think it was 0-0 here so they have been a bit of a bogey team.

“To put in a performance like that and get the result we needed is massive for us. It only takes us three points closer to where we want to go but hopefully it is a big step for us."
