Andy Robertson delivered again for Liverpool on Friday, and now Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will have some company for his signed Lionel Messi shirt.
Oxlade-Chamberlain - who made his long-awaited return to action in that Huddersfield clash on Friday - made a bet with the Scot at the start of the campaign that he couldn't reach 10 Premier League assists, saying that if he would he would put a signed 'Robertson 26' shirt up in his house alongside his treasured Messi top.
But the left-back reached double figures in the 5-0 win against the Terriers when his cross was headed in by Sadio Mane, and what's more he added an 11th assist of the league season when he teed up Mohamed Salah in the second half.
And Robertson - who was presented with an award for finishing in the PFA Team of the Year on Sunday night - didn't take long to remind Oxlade-Chamberlain of the bet.

“When I walked up to him at half-time I said: ‘Where’s it gonna go?!’” the defender told Liverpool's official website .
“I want it above his bed so he’s always reminded of me every time he goes to sleep! At the start of the season it was a bit of banter, he said: ‘If you get 10 Premier League assists, sign a shirt and I’ll put it up on my wall.’
“I don’t think he expected me to get it and he started panicking - but I’m glad to get it and there’ll be a ‘Robertson 26’ shirt up there next season!"

Robertson is now only the third defender in Premier League history to register at least 10 assists across a season.
“[It’s a] great achievement," he added.
"I’m not really for self-achievement, but I’m happy with that and I think when I was on nine, stuck on that and I saw where the record was, of course you want to chase it.
“I am who I am and the clean sheet is more important to me today, but I think Mo’s delighted because I’d not assisted him since the first game of the season! So he’s been on at me and luckily I found him, so all round it’s a good night.”
