Robertson scored Liverpool\u2019s second goal in a comeback win at Wolves <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Andrew Robertson believes Liverpool have been let off the leash.<\/p>\n
The stand-in skipper hailed the Reds\u2019 fresh start following their 3-1 win at Wolves on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Robertson scored his first goal since May 2022 \u2013 also against Wolves \u2013 with five minutes left before Harvey Elliott\u2019s shot deflected in off Hugo Bueno in stoppage time.<\/p>\n
It capped a comeback started by Cody Gakpo\u2019s second-half equaliser and extended Liverpool\u2019s unbeaten run in the Premier League, stretching back to last season, to 16 games.<\/p>\n
They finished fifth last season, 22 points adrift of champions Manchester City but Robertson welcomed the clean slate.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a new start. We\u2019ve got a lot of new players, kind of a new way of playing and things like that. So I think we just feel free,\u201d he told the club\u2019s official website after a fourth straight win.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got good, exciting young players that sometimes you could probably see that in the first half where it was time to just put the foot on the ball and we were still maybe trying to force it.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen in the second half, they just came out, played with no fear and we made really good substitutions. Darwin (Nunez) caused problems, Harvey caused problems and Luis Diaz comes on at half-time.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, we\u2019ve got a strong squad, we\u2019ve still got players obviously missing with Trent (Alexander-Arnold) and Thiago.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey weren\u2019t in the squad so we can only get stronger. But if we keep everyone fit, we believe that we\u2019ve got a squad that can compete, and we need to keep on showing that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hwang Hee-chan gave Wolves an early lead and the hosts dominated the majority of the first half, with Matheus Cunha missing a golden chance to double their lead.<\/p>\n
Defeat means Gary O\u2019Neil\u2019s side have lost four of their opening five league games, despite promising performances under the new head coach.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike the coach said after the game against Manchester United, we cannot perform at this kind of level and have this kind of game \u2013 the first half we dominated the game \u2013 and get out of it with zero points,\u201d Pedro Neto told the club\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re feeling it a lot, but we have to continue to work, we have to take points. We have to continue to do these first halves and take what we did in the first half into the second half.\u201d<\/p>\n
