Robertson reckons Salah worldie was the perfect response to racist abuse

ANDY ROBERTSON says Mo Salah’s wondergoal was the perfect reply to the Chelsea fans who racially abused him.
Blues supporters shared a video of a song about Liverpool star Salah being a “bomber” before their Europa League clash with Slavia Prague on Thursday.

Salah grabbed a stunning second goal in Sunday’s 2-0 win over the Londoners and left-back Robertson said: “That’s the way to shut them up. It’s not nice but he dealt with it. It didn’t affect him at all — it didn’t look like it, did it?

“Sadly people are getting used to things like this now because it is happening far too often. Raheem Sterling said the other day that the only way to shut people like this up is to score goals and to beat them.

“It was a fantastic goal. He cut inside and as soon as he hit it, everyone knew it was in.”

Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold added: “His goal against Chelsea was unbelievable. It changed direction a few times and good to see him back among the goals.”

Jurgen Klopp’s players underlined their focus is on the Premier League title bid by watching The Masters rather than rivals Manchester City’s victory over Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Robertson said: “We had the golf on. I wanted Tiger to win it. I was watching it with James Milner in the treatment room. I’m sure some of the lads were aware of the score but it wasn’t something we spoke about.
“This is the first time a lot of us have found ourselves in a position like this.

“We’re all enjoying it. You saw that with our performance against Chelsea.
