Andy Robertson has expressed his delight at Liverpool progressing to the fourth round of the FA Cup by beating Shrewsbury Town 4-1 at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.
Jurgen Klopp named a mixed starting XI for the Reds with youngsters needed to fill in for a COVID-hit Liverpool side.
The Reds' Carabao Cup semi-final match away at Arsenal last Thursday was postponed after Liverpool had to close their training ground for 48 hours due to the outbreak.

Robertson played the majority of the match after returning from suspension and he praised the Liverpool youngsters, who will face Cardiff City in the fourth round.
Liverpool fell behind in the first half, but soon equalised as Kaide Gordon became the clubs second-youngster goal scorer.
Fabinho scored the first of his two goals by converting a penalty to give the Reds the lead going into half-time before Roberto Firmino came off the bench to give Liverpool a two-goal cushion.
"All about making sure we were in the hat after a strange, disrupted week," said Robertson on
"Credit to Shrewsbury, pushed us all the way! Kudos to all our academy staff as well… our young lads did the club and themselves proud today!"
The fourth round ties will take place on the weekend of February, 5.
