Liverpool were on the verge of losing their first points in the Premier League, but a late penalty goal from Mohamed Salah in the fifth minute of added time brought success to Arne Slott's team. Thus, the champions are fully active after four rounds and are the sole leader in the standings, BTA reported.
The hosts from Burnley had the opportunity to open the score first in the seventh minute, but Jadon Anthony's shot went over the crossbar. Dominik Szoboszla responded with a dangerous shot for Liverpool, which flew past the goal. Home goalkeeper Martin Dubravka saved a shot by Andy Robertson.
After the break, Ryan Gravebach of the champions hit the post.
In the 84th minute, Burnley's situation became very difficult when Leslie Ugochukwu was sent off for a second yellow card. The drama came when Jeremy Frimpong's cross was crossed and Hannibal Mehbri of the home team played with his hand, albeit with his back to the ball. Salah shouldered the penalty and scored the ball under the crossbar for the valuable three points.
