'Maybe it’ll help them' - Andy Robertson responds to Benfica fans throwing objects after Liverpool win

Liverpool defender Andy Robertson has issued a brilliant response to Benfica fans after they threw flagpoles and lighters towards him at the end of their Champions League meeting.

Jurgen Klopp's side have the advantage as they take a 3-1 lead into the second leg, which is set to take place at Anfield next Wednesday. Ibrahima Konate, Sadio Mane and Luis Diaz were on the scoresheet, Darwin Nunez was able to offer the hosts a glimmer of hope early in the second-half.

After Diaz sealed the win for Liverpool with their third goal late on, amid the celebrations, a Benfica fan in the stands appeared to throw a flag pole in his Colombian's direction. Similar scenes occurred minutes before full time as Robertson lined up to take a corner for Liverpool.
