Andy Robertson: My dad will be so surprised I scored a header!

Andy Robertson can't remember scoring a headed goal before his equaliser at Aston Villa on Saturday – meaning quite a surprise for his father on holiday.

The Liverpool left-back got his side on terms at Villa Park with a surge into the box to meet Sadio Mane’s deep cross with a firm nod beyond the grasp of Tom Heaton.

Robertson’s 87th-minute intervention sparked a dramatic turnaround for the Reds, who went on to snatch three points deep into stoppage-time through a Mane header of his own.

It was a timely second goal of the season for Robertson and, he believes, the first of his football career via his head.
