Those who watched the results of the Liverpool-Burnley match will not close their eyes.The Premier League champions beat their relegation-prone rivals 3-1. This is not unexpected.
Many suspect that liverpool played a typical performance at first glance. This was often the case. Liverpool deserved all three points. There is no doubt. However, the game could have gone in different directions many times. Fortunately, the Clarets got off to a decent start. They also kept the hosts at bay when Dara O’Shea denied Diogo Jota’s opener.
Burnley should have equalized for a second time and perhaps taken the lead had David Fofana not missed two golden chances after Luis Diaz restored Liverpool’s lead. But Darwin Nunez’s header secured the Reds back at the top of the Premier League.They won after putting pressure on Manchester City, who 30 minutes ago had put Liverpool in front. Note that the Reds lost 3-1 to hometown team Arsenal last weekend.However, they took courage. There were no mistakes with 10 players missing, including four regular starters in Alisson Becker, Ibrahima Konate, Dominic Szoboslai and Mo Salah.
That’s why Jurgen Klopp’s day celebrations have been more prolific than usual. Cope used his usual three-punch pump. But as he turned and walked towards the tunnel, he echoed the action at the Anfield Road End and thanked those watching in the spacious stands for their contribution to the record attendance at the historic stadium. Klopp rarely left those in the main stand. For the first time this season, they celebrated with equal enthusiasm. Those left behind in the Sir Kenny Dalglish stand may have been disappointed to be left out. Either way, the Reds are back on top with their title ambitions firmly in hand.
