The most significant aspect of their 1-0 Champions League win over Real Madrid was arguably not the result, but the nature of the performance, dominating throughout and restricting their star-studded opponents to just two shots on target.

After six defeats in seven matches - coming after seven successive wins from the start of the season - Arne Slot's side have steadied the ship and they did it in some style against the 15-time European champions.

Successive cleans sheets for the first time since September have been a significant factor and Robertson believes that is what they have to focus on as, even in their impressive start to the campaign, they were conceding goals.
