FT: Burnley 0 #LFC 2: Liverpool move to the top of the table with victory at Turf Moor. Should have been straightforward after Nunez ended his drought but Trafford pulled off some fine saves & Klopp's side had two goals disallowed. Perfect finale with Jota scoring on his comeback
Back top of the league 🤩 @LFC
90+1' - Jota combines with Diaz before receiving the ball back inside the box and squeezing it under Trafford from a tight angle. [0-2] #BURLIV https://t.co/w6gYaLYdJm
Jota scores in the 90th minute. Liverpool 2-0 Burnley. Reds will leave Turf Moor top of the league at least until Arsenal play West Ham on Thursday.
Massive miss from Szoboszlai at the back post as Nunez headed an Alexander-Arnold cross into his path. Let off for Burnley. First real moment Liverpool have had for a while which shows the improvements Burnley have made in this half. #twitterclarets
Burnley beginning to grow in belief here. Van Dijk's attempted clearance only finds Berge but the midfielder can only drag his shot wide from just inside the box. Much better. #twitterclarets
Good chance for Burnley from a corner. O'Shea's near post flick finds Beyer but his attempted shot it deflected over. #twitterclarets
2-0 Liverpool. Harvey Elliott doubles the Reds' lead over Burnley. No way back for The Clarets now.
⏰ HT at Turf Moor Burnley 0-1 Liverpool 🤝 What did you make of that half? 🤔
HT: Burnley 0 #LFC 1: Nunez's early goal the difference at Turf Moor. Trafford has kept the hosts in it with some fine saves. Salah hit the bar and Gakpo's effort was controversially disallowed. It's been total dominance but Klopp's side need to be more clinical.
Another good save from Trafford, this time from Salah who tried to curl it past him after another dangerous Liverpool attack. #twitterclarets
Good finger tip save from Trafford to divert a low shot from Endo on the edge of the box wide. #twitterclarets
Another let off for Burnley, this time Gakpo releases Salah but he hits a half-volley off the top of bar. #twitterclarets
Darwin Nunez Goal. Merry Kloppsmas so far for the Reds. 🔴 https://t.co/lzm73q21Mg
Burnley make a mess of playing out from the back but they are fortunate that Nunez hesitated when one-on-one with Trafford after Beyer passed it straight to Gravenberch on the edge of the Burnley box. #twitterclarets
Close. Good attack from Burnley starts with Odobert. He works it into Foster who lays it off to Brownhill and he fires an effort just wide. #twitterclarets
Darwin Nuñez scores for Liverpool! The first goal of the night ⚽️⚽️ https://t.co/ElyhpWYcHm
Flying save from Trafford to deny Salah Burnley can't get close to Liverpool at the moment. Gakpo and Gravenberch causing havoc in between the lines. #twitterclarets
6' - Gakpo sets it back to Nunez on the edge of the area and he sidefoots it past Trafford beautifully. [0-1] #BURLIV https://t.co/tRO3mXlPi6
Good low save from Trafford from an Elliott effort from just outside the area. Burnley opened up from a Gravenberch flick. #twitterclarets
