(Reuters) - A day after Liverpool's Andy Robertson made his fourth assist of the Premier League season in Sunday's 3-1 victory over defending champions Manchester City, he issued a challenge to fellow full back Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The Scotland captain posted a short video clip on Twitter of himself smiling wryly with the caption"Realising you have more assists than @trentaa98" to which his team mate responded"Come back in May."
"Me and Trent had big numbers last season in terms of contributing to goals and stuff, but it was more than that," Robertson, 25, told Liverpool's website https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/372976-andy-robertson-man-city-reaction. Robertson and England's Alexander-Arnold have combined for 30 league assists -- 15 each -- since August 2018 when Liverpool began to hit top gear under manager Juergen Klopp.
Robertson hailed the remarkable progress of Liverpool-born Alexander-Arnold, who is not far behind him with three assists this season.
