The goal was Robertson's 13th of his Liverpool career, and his first from outside the box since joining the Reds in 2017.After the game, Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson referred to Robertson as 'Robertson Carlos' on Instagram – obviously a reference to Real Madrid and Brazil legend Roberto Carlos, who was known for his explosive left foot.READ MORE: Liverpool wants sickening Grok AI posts on Hillsborough and Diogo Jota removedREAD MORE: Alexis Mac Allister's dad provides alarming update on son's Liverpool futureSpeaking about his goal in a post-game interview with the BBC, Robertson said: "Probably quite rare.
It just opened up and thankfully I hit it clean."Most of them usually go over the bar during my time at Liverpool, so I'm glad I managed to get one in the net! Look, it set us on our way and then obviously to get a goal so quickly after it is pleasing."Robertson's goal was Liverpool's first of the night, before Mohamed Salah and Jones also got in on the act.The only blot on the evening was the late goal the Reds conceded when Hwang Hee-chan slotted the ball past Alisson.Robertson was pleased with the team's performance up until that point.Robertson scored an excellent goal on Friday(Image: James Gill - Danehouse/Getty Images)"I thought we controlled the game quite well up until the 92nd minute when we lose a clean sheet, which is frustrating," Robertson said.
"But cup competitions are all about getting through and we're delighted to get through now."Robertson has not figured as much as he would've liked this season following the arrival of Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth.His start on Friday was only his 14th of the season in all competitions, while Kerkez has lined up 30 times.Asked whether he felt he had a point to prove against Wolves, Robertson responded: "I'm not sure I've got a point to prove in a Liverpool shirt."I think the fans know that I give everything every time I come on the pitch and I hope they believe that and I've done that for nine years now, so it's not really that. When you get the opportunity to go on the pitch, I just want to make the most of it and I think I did that today."Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Liverpool FCAlissonAndy Robertson
