• Left-back impressed against Villa after being dropped
• ‘It suits me. I am trying to prove people wrong again’

Andy Robertson has said he had a point to prove in Liverpool’s win over Aston Villa having been “written off” for the first time in his storied Anfield career.

The left-back produced an impressive performance as Arne Slot’s team moved five points clear at the top of the Premier League on Saturday. It followed a difficult start to the season for the 30-year-old, who missed almost all of Slot’s first pre-season with a longstanding ankle problem and saw Kostas Tsimikas take his place for the wins against Brighton and Bayer Leverkusen.
