Why is Antonee Robinson similar to Ashley Cole (Ashley Cole — Arsenal 2001-2005)?

Why the comparison works

Adding a runner beyond the left winger

Robinson’s forward runs connect with Cole’s Arsenal 2001–05 phase through a simple attacking idea: the left-back is not only support behind the winger, but another runner beyond him. That overlap gives the attack a second way to progress down the flank.
