Liverpool fullback Andrew Robertson is confident they'll bounce back from defeat at Arsenal.

The key moment was a mistake between Alisson and Virgil van Dijk which allowed Gabriel Martinelli to put Arsenal ahead in the eventual 3-1 win.

Robertson told liverpoolfc.com: You have to process it and you have to see what we did wrong, and unfortunately there was quite a bit that we didn't do the way people have probably been used to watching [from us] this season.

We've been very consistent in the way we've played and the way we've gone about our business. I think [on] Sunday we weren't that team that everyone has become used to kind of watching again.

Yeah, it wasn't a great performance; we didn't start the game well and we go in at half-time and probably didn't really deserve [to be level]. Then you start the second half really well and then obviously everything else unfolded.

Mistakes happen; two of our probably best performers this season get into a mix-up, but my God, we'd be in such a different position if it wasn't for those two guys this season.

Mistakes happen and it's just unfortunate it happened and it's important to move on quick. We have to try to bounce back, we have to put it behind us. The lads have been unbelievably consistent this season and that's why we're in the position we're in, in all the competitions.

It's important that we get back on track straight away. We have to try to do that. We've got a full week to train and then we have to go in to the Burnley game not letting our confidence drop or anything from that performance, and we've got to show everyone it was a one-off.

We've got to get back to winning ways and if we do that then hopefully we go on another run and hopefully we kick on for the rest of the season."
