‘What a way’ – National press blown away by Liverpool ace on international duty

Liverpool have had an excellent start to the season under manager Arne Slot. 

The Reds are currently leading the Premier League title race by five points after winning nine of their 11 matches. 

The Merseyside giants face a tough run of fixtures after the international break as they take on Southampton, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Newcastle United and Everton. 

However, the impressive form of their key players suggests Liverpool are well prepared for the challenge. 

Andy Robertson was in Nations League action for his country yesterday, and he scored a thunderous stoppage-time goal to earn Scotland a 2-1 win against Poland. 

John McGinn put the Tartan Army ahead in the third minute, but their hopes of escaping immediate demotion received a big blow when Kamil Piatkowski equalised in the second half. 

However, Robertson produced a sensational winner to snatch a Nations League relegation lifeline for his country. 

The national media were effusive in their praise of the Liverpool star, who marked his 80th cap with a special performance. 

The Daily Record handed him an 8/10 rating. What a way to celebrate his 80th cap in Warsaw where his Scotland career started,” they wrote. “Produced a bullet header in injury time to secure a huge victory.” 

Roberton played the entire 90 minutes and had 98 touches in the game. 

He won 100 percent of his aerial duels and completed 100% of his dribble attempts. 

The experienced left-back lost the ball on 28 occasions but created two key passes and made a clearance. 

Liverpool fans must have been thrilled to watch Roberton in action on international duty, and they will hope he continues his good form in the Premier League.
