Liverpool managed to maintain their winning streak in the Premier League at the weekend.

Andy Robertson has revealed to the Liverpool Echo that Liverpool had been working on the set piece which created Roberto Firmino’s goal against Chelsea in training.

Liverpool changed the angle for their second goal against Chelsea, with Trent Alexander-Arnold laying off the onrushing Robertson, who then swung in a cross for Firmino to head home.

It was a well designed set piece, which Chelsea struggled to defend.

And Robertson says that it came straight off Liverpool’s training ground, where they had been practicing it.

“We’ve worked on them,” he said. “The first one was probably a bit less work done on it, I think Trent said he wanted a touch and a hit but the other one we’ve been practising on and luckily it has come off.

“I was able to find Bobby (Firmino) with the cross and I was delighted to see him put that away so, that put us 2-0 up and then it was all about us trying to defend and staying together.”

Liverpool just about held on to beat Chelsea, as they continued their winning streak.

Ngolo Kante did score for Chelsea, as they gave Liverpool a huge scare, but the Reds’ defence stood firm.

Jurgen Klopp’s side have now taken maximum points from their first six Premier League games this season, which gives them an early lead to defend in the title race.

Liverpool are next in action tomorrow evening, when they take on MK Dons in the League Cup.
