Opposition goal after ten minutes, red to Robertson five turns later: despite a shock start and the second goal for Fulham a quarter of an hour from the end, Liverpool brought home a draw at Anfield that smacks of victory for how things had turned out.
The technician of Reds, Arne Slot, it was no coincidence that he applauded his team: “Liverpool’s performance was impressive with 10 men.” No reproaches then for Robertson, guilty of having received the red card: “The character that the team has shown is the same that Robertson has shown. Nothing to blame him, only praise for the character shown in wanting to continue because he received a good blow. Unfortunately, it led to a deserved red card.”
Regarding his team’s performance, the Liverpool manager said: “I don’t think I could have asked for more from my players, especially after being down to 10 men. It’s an exciting game and we were outnumbered. It’s frustrating but it’s good to see our performance after so many setbacks. Today everything was against us, so I thought we were exceptional.”
