Andrew Robertson: Liverpool free-kick practice paying off

Andy Robertson says Liverpool's free-kick practice has paid off.

The Reds scored twice from set-pieces in Sunday's 2-1 win over Chelsea.

"We've worked on them," said Robertson after the clash in the capital.

"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 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.

"They were putting pressure on us but I don't think they had too many chances other than the goal and that is what we're all about.

"We could have kept the ball better, we wanted to get the ball down and try to play and beat Chelsea's press, but we couldn't quite do that, so that is obviously disappointing but we have done very well.

"We know there are going to be bumps along the way and we're going to struggle but it's all about grinding out results."
