Andy Robertson: 'Liverpool were watching Masters instead of City game'

Jurgen Klopp's side have won their last seven matches in all competitions.

Liverpool's players underlined their focus is on this season's Premier League title bid by watching the Masters golf rather than rivals Manchester City's victory over Crystal Palace.

Pep Guardiola's side briefly returned to the top of the table with a 3-1 win at Selhurst Park after kicking off two and a half hours before the Reds' 2-0 defeat of Chelsea at Anfield.

It is a scenario which will occur in the next two rounds of fixtures as City will again play before Liverpool.

But defender Andy Robertson said the players have become well-versed in blocking the outside noise.

"We had the golf on. I wanted Tiger to win it," said the Scotland captain.

"I was watching it with James Milner in the treatment room. I'm sure some of the lads were aware of the City score but it wasn't something we spoke about.

"We didn't know the City result beforehand but because we hadn't heard anything we just guessed they had won.

"Every game is so big at this stage of the season. Every team is fighting for something and there's a lot more pressure on you."

Merseyside Police are investigating after a flare was thrown shortly after Sadio Mane scored Liverpool's opener against Chelsea.

"Following this officers received reports a young Chelsea fan, believed to be nine years old, had been taken to the first aid centre where he was treated by St John Ambulance staff after suffering a panic attack as a result of the flare," said a Merseyside Police statement.
