'GOAT' - Robertson has a new nickname for Origi after Merseyside derby heroics

  /  autty

Liverpool left-back Andrew Roberton has heaped praise on Divock Origi for his inspired performance against Everton.

The Belgian striker was one of several eye-catching changes made by Jurgen Klopp as he rotated his squad for the midweek fixture.

With all that in mind, Robertson has praised his teammate on Twitter.

He wrote: "He just loves a big game doesn't he" before posting a series of pictures inferring Origi as the GOAT.

Later he also tweeted: "100 games for LFC. Derby win. Celebration with the GOAT. Perfect night."

Having chopped and changed his starting XI, offering rare starts for Origi, Adam Lallana and Xherdan Shaqiri, with the latter also on the score sheet, Liverpool extended their lead over Manchester City to 11 points once again.

With Leicester City beating Watford 2-0, the Reds' lead at the top of te Premier League table remains at eight points after 15 Premier League matches.
