Andy Robertson shared his personal delight at becoming the Premier League's all-time record assist maker against Aston Villa last night - but the Reds left-back insisted that kicking off the second-half of the season with a win was the priority.
Liverpool bounced back from their Carabao Cup defeat at Manchester City to beat Aston Villa 3-1 at Villa Park. Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk sent the Reds into half-time 2-0 up before Ollie Watkins pulled one back. The home side continued to push for an equaliser, opening up space for a swift counter-attack that saw Stefan Bajcetic score his first senior goal.
Victory at Villa Park handed Jurgen Klopp his third consecutive league win for the first time this season - albeit with a World Cup inbetween - and propelled his side to within five points of Tottenham Hotspur in the fourth and final Champions League spot. And Robertson stressed the importance of carrying through the short burst of momentum with which they finished the first potion of the campaign.
