Andy Robertson has been hailed by Liverpool fans after his stunning goal line clearance prevented the Reds from falling 2-0 down against Crystal Palace.
Liverpool had been rocked by Eberechi Eze’s opening goal against Anfield and were indebted to Robertson to avoid another blow.
Jean-Philippe Mateta capitalised on a slip by Virgil van Dijk and chipped Alisson, with the Palace forward appearing to have doubled the visitors’ lead.
Robertson sprinted back to produce a superb clearance off the line to spare Van Dijk’s blushes.

Former Celtic manager Neil Lennon praised Robertson’s intervention as ‘world class’.
‘That is absolutely awesome. What a brilliant passage of football that is,’ Lennon said on BBC Radio 5Live.
‘Again, the outball is Eze because of Bradley’s position. Mateta is in one on one, I thought he was a bit casual with the finish and it is a brilliant goal-saving tackle on the line from Robertson.
‘He couldn’t have timed that any better. It’s world-class from Robertson.’
