Liverpool defender Andy Roberston is thankful for his side's win against Newcastle, because it helped him forget a previous loss on international duty.

Roberston was frustrated with his time with the Scotland national team, given they lost crucial Euro 2020 qualifiers to Russia and Belgium.

But the 25-year-old can always count on his club side's form to cheer him up.

"Trust me, it can happen [reflecting on his performances]. Unfortunately, it happened twice over that last week," he said to reporters.

"I lock myself away. I don't like to talk to anyone.

"That's up to me to deal with and I dealt with it in the way that I felt was right and I'll continue to do that. But I hope I'm not dealing with it because that means my performances are better and the team's performances are better.

"It's a team game, it's not just one person, and unfortunately we didn't perform as a team last week. I was just looking forward to getting back out on the pitch, not letting it affect me and try and concentrate on my game and things like that.

"Don't get me wrong, last week was tough, and I just couldn't wait for this game. Once the Scotland games were out of the way and the dust had settled, I couldn't wait for the (Newcastle) game because I wanted to get back to good performances. I feel as if I did that."
