Andrew Robertson Liverpool
Andy Robertson has admitted Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with Brighton ‘felt like a defeat’ in the dressing room at full-time. The Reds were 2-0 up after 30 minutes and could’ve had a third had Sadio Mane not had a goal ruled out for handball. Graham Potter’s side pulled one back on the brink of half-time before they scored an equaliser on 65 minutes. The points were shared at Anfield, but the Liverpool left-back is disappointed with the manner in which they let go of a two-goal lead.
Andy Robertson said: “In the dressing room just now it feels like a defeat. Being 2-0 up and giving away a lead, it’s never nice. There’s frustration. We couldn’t have asked for a better start, we scored two great goals but we let Brighton do what they were good at. We started letting Ads [Adam Lallana] on the ball, we let [Yves] Bissouma on the ball and let them start making runs in behind. They started getting a wee bit confident. At half-time we needed to put it right and we didn’t do that. I think Brighton were the better team in the second half and they obviously got the goal that made them equalise and they could’ve had another one. When we’re playing at Anfield and we’re 2-0 up, we expect to come away with three points and we’ve not done that today and that’s why it’s so frustrating.”
This isn’t the first time the Reds have struggled after going two goals up. Only a couple of weeks ago against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League Liverpool were 2-0 up early in the first-half only to find themselves level at half-time. Jurgen Klopp will hope it doesn’t become a pattern for his side as another huge match against the La Liga club looms midweek.
