Burnley vs Liverpool
Incredible drama at the end as Salah’s 95th-minute penalty clinches a 1-0 victory over Burnley to send Liverpool back to the top of the Premier League table. Liverpool were far from their best today but they’ve managed to find yet another late goal to break Burnley hearts and continue their 100% winning record this season. Burnley's resistance was dismantled in the final moments as Parker and his players will be gutted! The hosts thought their plan had worked to perfection as their impressive defence had nullified Liverpool’s star-studded attack. However, at the end of the encounter, Mejbri blocked Frimpong’s cross with his arm and Salah dispatched the resulting penalty with scintillating composure. Liverpool dominated possession with 81% and accumulated a higher expected goals (xG) with 2.45 to Burnley’s 0.13. This result means Liverpool have overtaken Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, reclaiming top spot in the league table, while Burnley remain 17th. In their next games, Liverpool’s attention turns to Europe, as they host Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, while Burnley will entertain Nottingham Forest at Turf Moor. We hope you’ve enjoyed this live text commentary! Thank you!
Burnley vs Liverpool
Parker has decided to make two changes to the Burnley side who suffered that gut-wrenching loss to Manchester United. Laurent and Tchaouna come in for Jacob Bruun Larsen and Hannibal. Striker Broja was recruited from Chelsea in the summer, and the 24-year-old is in the Burnley matchday squad for the first time in the top-flight, taking a place on the bench. The likes of Walker, Esteve, Ugochukwu, and Anthony all start for Burnley. Captain Cullen, who unfortunately scored an own goal in the Old Trafford defeat, begins in midfield.
