A 'Robbo' galloping down the left flank at Anfield like a gazelle, creating chances for his team-mates at will and keeping a top forward relatively quiet at the other end. Nothing new for Liverpool fans. Except on Saturday, this was not Andy Robertson but Fulham's Antonee Robinson. Say the names quickly and they sound the same.

With the Scotland captain sent off after 17 minutes for a tug on Harry Wilson when the last man back — minutes after deflecting a shot into his own goal — Robertson was left to watch from afar as Robinson put in a barnstorming display with two assists to fire Fulham to a point.

Marco Silva, the Cottagers boss, was effusive in his praise for the all-action American, saying: 'What a performance. It's difficult to express in words. This season he is so decisive. He was brave, assertive and aggressive in the right way when he came up against Mohamed Salah.

'He was up and down every time and he's one of the greatest in our dressing room with the way he works and the way he is playing.'. Asked if Robinson, who captained Fulham, is the best left back in the league on current form, Silva added: 'You are asking a Fulham manager but of course I am going to say yes.

Andy Robertson had an afternoon to forget in Liverpool's pulsating draw with Fulham. Robertson was unable to prevent Andreas Pereira from opening the scoring at Anfield. He was then given a straight red card for bringing down Harry Wilson when through on goal.
