'I thought': Sutton gives verdict on Antonee Robinson's display against Liverpool after claims Reds want him

Liverpool were held to their second successive draw in the Premier League after an entertaining game against Fulham finished 2-2 at Anfield.

Fulham led twice through Andreas Pereira and Rodrigo Muniz, but Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota ensured the Reds got at least a point at home.

Much of the limelight was on Andy Robertson as he was sent off with 17 minutes on the clock, but his counterpart Antonee Robinson enhanced his reputation with a fantastic display.

And Chris Sutton has had his say on the American international’s performance at Anfield.

Robinson has been linked with a move to Liverpool as the Reds scour the transfer market for a left-back.

As Robertson endured his toughest night of the, the Fulham defender showed a glimpse of his potential at Anfield as he provided two assists and largely kept Mohamed Salah at bay throughout the game.

Sutton hailed Liverpool for not throwing in the towel after going down to ten men but singled out Robinson for special praise, who was a thorn in the flesh of the Reds over the course of the 90 minutes.

He said via BBC: “I thought Liverpool were phenomenal. Brilliant game. They went down to 10 men and didn’t feel sorry for themselves. Jota looked sharp as anything.

“Fulham are a really balanced side and were a big threat down the left. Robinson looked great. I thought Liverpool were phenomenal in the face of adversity.”
