Liverpool snatched a dramatic 1-0 win against Burnley at Turf Moor thanks to Mohamed Salah’s stoppage-time penalty. The decisive moment came in the 95th minute when Jeremie Frimpong’s cross struck the hand of Hannibal Mejbri, leaving the referee no choice but to point to the spot. Salah kept his composure to convert, sealing all three points for the visitors.
Burnley had worked tirelessly throughout the game, defending deep and frustrating Liverpool’s attack. Despite dominating possession and creating numerous attempts, Arne Slot’s side lacked a cutting edge for most of the contest. The hosts’ hopes of holding on were dented when Lesley Ugochukwu was shown a red card in the 84th minute, leaving them to finish with ten men.
The victory maintains Liverpool’s perfect start to the Premier League season, with four wins from four matches. Salah’s goal also elevated him to fourth on the all-time Premier League scoring list, underlining his continued importance for the Reds. Burnley, meanwhile, can take pride in their defensive resilience but were undone at the very end.
