James Milner on the moment that made every Liverpool fan start loving Andy Robertson

James Milner has pinpointed the precise moment Liverpool team-mate Andy Robertson became a fan favourite.

Robertson has proven one of the most popular players among Reds supporters since breaking into the first team a few months after his arrival from Hull City in July 2017.

The Scotland captain has become a mainstay in Jurgen Klopp's starting line-up and featured in the Champions League final win over Tottenham Hotspur in Madrid in June.

And while praising his team-mate, Liverpool's vice-captain highlighted the moment in the 4-3 Premier League win over Manchester City in January 2018 that cemented Robertson's place in the hearts of the fanbase.

"I think how good Robbo has been since he's been at the club has been incredible really," Milner told the European Tour's website.

"The fans love him. I think it started with that 90-yard press of Man City – he pressed everyone in their team I think, went to the 'keeper and then did them all again!

"He's got great quality and (is a) good defender. He's good around the dressing room as well, he's good craic.

"That's the one thing we've got as a team, we've got a great team spirit. You need lads like Robbo.

"As good as he is on the field, he's brilliant in the dressing room as well."
