Andy Robertson has paid tribute to Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson for his half-time team talk which helped the side overcome Villarreal on Wednesday night.
Liverpool completed a dominant 2-0 win over Unai Emery’s side at Anfield to make them big favourites to progress in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final. But they were far from assured of victory at half-time after Villarreal had kept the home team out and left the home fans frustrated with their low block.
Jurgen Klopp’s side came in at the break at 0-0, with Thiago Alcantara’s long-range effort onto the post the closest they had come to scoring from their 13 efforts at goal. Liverpool did not panic and were rewarded with two goals in two second-half minutes.
