Liverpool faced Forest after the last in🌃ternational break and suffered their only defeat under Arne S❀lot so far, as they were beaten 1-0 at Anfield.

However, 🥂they avoided a similar stumble this time around as Mohamed Salah and Curtis Jones scored the goals for the Reds on either side of Nicolas Jackson's equaliser, sending them back to the to🀅p of the league table.

Chelsea had won each of their last three away games coming into this contest, and Robertson was particular🧸ly impressed by how Liverpool dug in to pre꧒serve the win.

"It ܫis always like that - two good teams going at it. We have had good games over the years against them. It is always difficult," he told ඣBBC Match of the Day.

"It took us a little time to get going, but once we did, I think we were quite comfortable in the first half. In the second, w🥀e de𒁏fended really well and limited them.

൩"After the last international break, we let ourselves down against Nottingham Forest, and we were determined🍒 to put that right and I think we did that.

"There are different way♋s to win, and today was one we had to grind out. We have played better this season, but𒊎 we got two crucial goals and defended well for the most part."

Meanwhile, Jones was instrumental to the victory as he won the pena𝐆lty that Salah scored and thought he had won a second after being upended by Robert Sanchez, but it was overturned by a VAR review, before netting what turned out to be the winner in the 51st minute.

"The win is the most important thing. I was involved a lot, but I'm happy that we won,&qဣuot; he told Sky Sports.

"There have been times when I have arrived in the box, and it is a first♕-time finish. As soon as Mo had the ball, I made the run, but it bounced, so I had to have a touch, and then thankfully it went in."

He also played a key role by keeping Chelsea playmaker Cole Palmer quiet thr♏oughout the game, limiting him to no shots on target, and just one chance created.

"We know how important [Palmer] is and how many goals he scores, so I had it in my mind to keep him quiet,♔ and it is a huge part of their game gone," he added.
