Press top and wait for the Liverpool! His team Jurgen Klopp played with fire but didn’t burn at Turf Moor, eventually beating them 2-0 Burnley to reach 42 points and be +2 behind Arsenal with a game less.
A quick lead, many missed opportunities and… anxiety before the match was locked for the “reds” who reached 12 consecutive matches without defeat, with the only one having come on September 30 against Tottenham.
It remained at 11 points and in the penultimate position Burnleywhich has just one three-pointer at home this season!
The game got off to the perfect start for Klopp’s side, who took the lead in the 6th minute when Hakpo broke through on the edge of the area and Bath tubs with a flawless placement in the movement he executed Trafford for 1-0. Liverpool’s dominance continued in the first half as they had 14 finals (vs 2) with 8 of them at home, but the score remained unchanged.
It was a similar picture at the start of the second half with Elliott scoring in the 55th minute but the goal disallowed for offside by Salah, who was obstructing the opposition keeper’s field of vision, with Burnley then searching and trying to surprise the visitors .
Despite this, Liverpool managed to keep a clean sheet and with Zota’s goal in the 90th minute after Dias’ back-heel, they sealed the three points by winning 2-0.
