Liverpool secured a dramatic 2-1 victory over Everton in the Merseyside Derby, with a late winner in stoppage time. Andrew Robertson expressed his emotional farewell to the intense rivalry.
âIâm going to miss themâ â Liverpool star bids farewell to the Merseyside Derby
There are matches that pass, and there are matches that linger. For Robertson, this Merseyside derby will sit firmly in the latter category, etched into memory by drama, defiance and a decisive moment that arrived deep into stoppage time.
Liverpoolâs 2-1 victory over Everton was shaped by patience and persistence, but ultimately decided by a towering header in the 100th minute. It was a moment that captured everything that defines this rivalry. Chaos, emotion and a sense that nothing is settled until the final whistle.
Reflecting on the contest, Robertson admitted Liverpool always carried the greater threat. âYes, I think so. I thought [in the] first half we were excellent and were really in control,â he said in the original source published on Liverpoolâs official website. âI thought actually when we conceded the goal we were the dominant and most in control. [It felt like] it was just a matter of time before we got the second.â
That sense of inevitability is often deceptive in a Merseyside derby. Momentum can swing sharply, and control rarely guarantees victory. Robertson knows this better than most.

âIâve been here long enough and I know how Merseyside derbies go and sometimes when youâve got momentum, sometimes you get punished,â he explained. âI think thatâs what we did. We took a little bit of time to recover, and we just had to keep pushing.â
Liverpoolâs response was measured rather than frantic. There was no abandonment of structure, only a gradual tightening of pressure. The late chance that fell to Rio Ngumoha hinted at what was to come.
âYeah, that was too early for us so we decided to leave that one! No, Rio had a great chance, which Iâm sure he would have hoped to have done better with,â Robertson said, half in jest.
What followed was a familiar pattern. A set-piece, bodies forward, belief rising. âWhen you get the set-piece you always believe when youâve got Virgil and youâve got Ibou [Konate] in the team,â he added. âThankfully the big man popped up. Itâs a massive three points for us.â
Beyond the headline moment, Robertson was keen to highlight the quieter figures who shape performances behind the scenes. Freddie Woodmanâs introduction and contribution did not go unnoticed.
âI take the mickey out of him a lot and me and Freddie always have a laugh and a joke but heâs a credit to himself,â Robertson said. âSince he has come in he has been unbelievable.â
It is a reminder that elite squads are built not only on star quality but on reliability and readiness. âWhether thatâs Mo Salah wanting to stay out and take penalties an hour after training â Woody is the one that is out there,â Robertson continued. âThese people in a club like this are so important.â
Such comments reveal the internal culture driving Liverpoolâs resilience. Every role matters, whether under the spotlight or in the background.
For Robertson, this Merseyside derby carried an added layer of significance. It marked the end of an era, his final appearance in one of English footballâs most storied rivalries.
âIâve loved the Merseyside derby,â he said. âThey are the games I will look back on in the nine years I have been at Liverpool that kind of got the best out of me, [they] always got the juices flowing inside me and today was no different.â
There is a raw honesty in those words. Rivalries like this do not simply test ability, they reveal character. Robertson has long thrived in that environment, relishing both the intensity and the stakes.
âWhen I got the nod yesterday, me and Mo spoke about it and said, âLetâs just go and enjoy it.â Itâs our last one and weâve had so many great memories in the Merseyside derby,â he added. âThey are fantastic games to be involved in and Iâm going to miss them, thatâs for sure.â
As Liverpool continue their campaign, this result may prove pivotal in the broader context of the season. Yet for Robertson, the significance runs deeper. It is about moments, memories and the enduring pull of a fixture that never fails to deliver.
