Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson was one of the standout players as the Reds secured a comfortable 3-0 win against Leicester last night.
The 26-year-old delivered a sublime cross for Diogo Jota to head home the second goal, taking his tally of assists this season in all competitions to three.
Robertson was a doubt heading into the game after sustaining a hamstring injury whilst on international duty last week but there was no sign of any fitness problems hindering his performance. Supporters on Twitter were full of praise for the defender:
Best in the world

Arguably the most consistent player for us since his arrival!

With Trent Alexander-Arnold out injured, it is imperative to protect Robertson from being overplayed. He rampaged down the left flank all night against Leicester and was a constant menace to the Foxes defence with his forward runs and crosses.
Manager Jurgen Klopp may consider resting the Scottish international against Atalanta midweek to keep him fresh, whilst providing an opportunity for summer signing Kostas Tsimikas to play.
