Liverpool continued their strong start to the Premier League season with a narrow 1-0 victory over Burnley. The match was decided by Mohamed Salah, who scored a penalty deep into stoppage time.
The Reds controlled possession for much of the game but found it difficult to break down Burnley’s defence. Chances were created in both halves, yet Liverpool lacked a clinical touch in front of goal.
Burnley, playing at home, defended with determination and looked set to secure a valuable point. Their task became harder late in the second half when a red card reduced them to ten men. Even then, Liverpool struggled to find a breakthrough.
The decisive moment arrived in the 95th minute. A cross struck the hand of a Burnley defender, leading to a penalty. Salah stepped up calmly and converted, sending the away fans into celebration.
Liverpool’s performance once again showed their ability to fight until the last whistle. This was not the first time this season that they have relied on late goals to secure wins. While the result keeps them unbeaten, the display raised questions about their attacking sharpness.
Injury concerns also remain for the team. A few key players were unavailable, forcing the manager to adjust his lineup. Despite this, Liverpool showed strong character and resilience.
The victory keeps them at the top of the table with a perfect record after four games. With tough fixtures ahead, including European commitments, the team will need to improve their consistency earlier in matches.
For now, Liverpool fans will be delighted with another three points. The late win against Burnley highlighted both the team’s fighting spirit and their ability to grind out results under pressure.
