Liverpool took a step closer to the Champions League next season with a 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday but a moment of controversy made for a nervy finish at AnfieldAndy Robertson reckons the finger of blame should be pointed at referee Andy Madley rather than Daniel Munoz after the Crystal Palace wing-back's controversial strike left Anfield calling him a "cheat".Liverpool moved closer to securing a top five finish and a place in next season's Champions League with a 3-1 win over the Eagles. Robertson himself had scored Liverpool's second - five minutes after Alexander Isak's 35th minute opener - to put the Reds in command.But they were made to endure a nervy finish when Colombia international Munoz scored for the visitors, finding the net with deputising Liverpool 'keeper Freddie Woodman down injured.

Thankfully, we were the ones who scored the next and not them."Robertson's view echoed that of Kop boss Arne Slot, who voiced his frustration to Match of the Day, declaring: "The number of times I've played against a team and then a player is on the floor and the referee blows the whistle. He did it about four times today."Munoz, I think it's 50-50 because some players wouldn't have taken the shot.

I don't blame him as much as I blame the referee."Florian Wirtz ultimately made the three points safe in the 95th minute but things could have been different had third-choice stopper Woodman - deputising for injured duo Alisson and Giorgi Mamardashvili - not made a number of fine stops earlier in the afternoon."I thought he was outstanding," added Robertson. I'm just gutted he didn't get the clean sheet."Robertson was also delighted to score what may well prove to be his final Anfield goal, with the Scotland captain leaving the club at the end of the season."It was like a striker's finish," said the Scot.
