Slot defends Robertson and hails 10-man Reds' 'character' after Fulham fightback

'Here I am very happy about the performance, I couldn't have asked for more, but of course not with the result because if you drop points in a home game against Fulham that is definitely not what you expect and what you want.'

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot apportioned no blame to Andy Robertson for his early red card against Fulham in which his side twice came from behind to earn a 2-2 draw in a pulsating Anfield encounter.

In fact, the Dutchman said the Scotland left-back epitomised the team's fighting spirit having played on after a knee-high challenge from Issa Diop in the opening seconds which he felt compromised his ability.
