Liverpool defender Robertson: Dominant performance against Chelsea was never in doubt

Robertson later reflected on the intense matchups against their rivals, stating: "It's always a battle when these two strong teams face off. We've had some memorable games against them over the years. It's never easy, but that's what makes it so exciting."

"It took us a little time to get going but once we did I think we were quite comfortable in the first half. In the second we defended really well and limited them.

"After the last international break we let ourselves down against Nottingham Forest and we were determined to put that right and I think we did that.

"There are different ways to win and today was one we had to grind out. We have played better this season but we got two crucial goes and defended well for the most part."
