Robertson insists he has no point to prove after starring in Liverpool win over Wolves

It has been a frustrating campaign for Andrew Robertson, but he says he understands the situation he finds himself in at Liverpool.

Andrew Robertson insists he does not feel like he has a point to prove at Liverpool after starring in their 3-1 FA Cup win at Wolves.

The long-serving Reds full-back drilled home a brilliant opener at Molineux then quickly teed up Mohamed Salah, before Curtis Jones' effort rendered Hwang Hee-chan's late goal a mere consolation.

It was Robertson's 13th goal for Liverpool but first from outside the box, while in the Scotland ace (1G, 1A) and Jones (1G, 1A), the Reds had two different players both score and provide an assist in the same FA Cup away match for the first time on Opta records (since 1992-93).

Robertson – who turns 32 next week – has found himself on the periphery of the first team this season due to the arrival of Milos Kerkez, but he says that he understands he will play fewer minutes at this stage of his career.

"I'm not sure if I have a point to prove in a Liverpool shirt, the fans know I give everything in a Liverpool shirt," he told BBC One.

"When you get on the pitch you just want to enjoy it. It is what it is. Milos is a fantastic left-back.

"He had an unbelievable season last season at Bournemouth. It took time to settle into a big club. 

"The club has to move forward, the lads who have been here so long are not getting any younger. You have to accept it. I have had competition my whole career."

Liverpool suffered a demoralising last-gasp defeat to Wolves in the Premier League just three days ago, but rebounded in style to reach the quarter-finals.

The Reds' Premier League title defence has been hugely underwhelming, though they are still competing in the FA Cup and Champions League.

Robertson added: "It's a bit more like it. We know we let ourselves down on Tuesday. It was not the performance we expect from ourselves.

"It was up to us to go and put it right. The FA Cup is do or die.

"I couldn't have hit it (his goal) much better. It opened up and, thankfully, I hit it clean. We are delighted to get through now.

"We are trying to fight on all fronts. We are still in two cup competitions. If we play like we did tonight, then nobody wants to play against us. 

"We have to start showing that consistency. It is one step forward and two steps back."

There were just 95 seconds between Liverpool's first and second goals, and Wolves boss Rob Edwards felt that is what really cost his side in this fifth-round tie.

He told TNT Sports: "I think Liverpool are a bit good aren't they? I thought we saw the best version of them today. 

"Credit where credit's due they deserved it, they were better. We gave everything but we couldn't find a way to counter-attack.

"I think the killer moment for us, because even at 1-0 down we're still in the game, I think the timing of that second goal straight from our kick-off was a killer and it almost sealed it for us tonight. 

"It's the one thing I'm annoyed about tonight because anything can happen. We got a goal late, if we're still in it in those later stages you never know. 

"But I thought they were outstanding, I can't fault our players but there's levels, and they were at a very high level tonight."
