Liverpool: Andy Robertson becomes defender with most Premier League assists

Scotland captain Andy Robertson has become the defender with the most assists in Premier League history after helping Liverpool beat Aston Villa 3-1.

The left-back set up Mo Salah for the opener as the Egypt forward moved level with Michael Owen after scoring 55 away league goals for the Anfield club.

Robertson's assist was his 54th, moving him one ahead of former Wigan Athletic and Everton full-back Leighton Baines.

The Scot stressed "I'm all for the team" despite delight at the record.

"But, when you do stuff like that and you're in the Premier League against some unbelievable defenders, it's always nice to put yourself at the top there," he told Liverpool's website.
