"But the floodgates were opened after 51 minutes as Robertson received the ball close to 25 yards out and arrowed his powerful strike into the bottom-right corner, leaving Sam Johnstone with no chance in the Wolves goal. And it was 2-0 two minutes later. Robertson's cross was turned in by Salah, who was initially denied by the linesman's flag but was awarded his goal following a VAR review."
"Robertson has both scored a goal and provided an assist in the same match for the third time across all competitions for Liverpool, with all three coming at different stadiums - Anfield, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Molineux. The Scotsman also created a joint-match high four chances (level with Dominik Szoboszlai), while also registering the most touches (125), completed passes (95) and possessions won (seven) of any player."
Liverpool defeated Wolves 3-1 in the FA Cup fifth round at Molineux. The match was quiet in the first half with Wolves failing to register a shot, though Cody Gakpo hit the post for Liverpool while in an offside position. The second half saw Liverpool dominate after Andy Robertson opened the scoring with a powerful strike from 25 yards in the 51st minute. Mohamed Salah doubled the lead two minutes later following a VAR review, and Curtis Jones added a third goal in the 74th minute. Hwang Hee-chan scored a late consolation for Wolves. Liverpool's superior performance was reflected in their 1.8 expected goals from 20 shots compared to Wolves' 0.44 from four attempts.
