Liverpool ace says Tottenham were better team in second half at Anfield.
Liverpool defender Andrew Robertson has admitted Tottenham were the better team against Liverpool in the second half at Anfield.
It was an accolade which ultimately counted for nothing.
A late own goal from Toby Alderweireld saw Spurs slip to a 2-1 defeat.
Robertson confessed he felt Tottenham’s win was lucky.
He told Sky Sports: “In the first half we blew them away, if I’m honest. I thought we played really well.
“We couldn’t find the second goal that we needed and we got a bit sloppy if we’re honest. You can’t do that against a good team.
“To be fair to them, they’ve beaten us comfortably in the second half, but these lads go right until the end, and it’s another late winner.
“It was a bit fortunate, but it’s all about the three points.”
Liverpool’s win was enough to take them back to the top of the Premier League table.
Manchester City have a game in hand where they can overtake them, but for now Liverpool have the points in the bag.
This game against Spurs had shaped up as one of their toughest challenges. Liverpool are clearly relieved to have seen it through.
