Liverpool defender Andy Robertson says Newcastle ‘are in fantastic shape’ and singled out Joelinton for special praise.
The 28-year-old Scotland international played the full 90 minutes in Liverpool's 1-0 win over Newcastle United which resulted in the Merseyside team going top of the league, albeit temporarily. Although it was a good result for Newcastle, they struggled to land a punch on Liverpool.
However, left-back Robertson was complimentary about the resurgent Newcastle side. In particularly he highlighted the importance for his side winning a battle with Joelinton in midfield.
