RouterLink to navigate back in child route

Question

I have few routes in my application. Parent route admin has few other child routes like posts, about-me, categories. I want to be able to access the child route and navigate back if the user wants to. I was trying to add a link

<a class="pointer" [routerLink]="['admin']">Back</a>

but, the Router was just adding this link to ActivatedRoute (so the url looked like: http://localhost/admin/posts/admin).

So my question is what's the correct way to navigate back from the child route? Thank you in advance.

I guess you wanted to redirect back to parent.

[routerLink]="['../../parent']"
