HOW IT HAPPENED

Burnley started the better at Turf Moor and had some early chances in front of an expectant Clarets crowd.

The Clarets found the net through Ashley Barnes, who volleyed home superbly, but the linesman flagged for offside.

It wasn't until the second-half until we saw the first goal in this game, Alisson couldn't keep hold of a loose ball and the ball fell to Cork, who tapped in and the crowd erupted.

Liverpool were shocked, despite having all of the possession in Burnley, the Clarets managed to edge their way into the lead.

But the Reds were back into in the game not too long after, with Milner finding a yard of space before drilling a shot into the bottom right to leave Joe Hart stranded.

Liverpool brought on Firmino and Mohamed Salah as soon as the goal went in, signalling their intentions for the last stages of the match.

A free-kick found Virgil van Dijk who squared the ball across goal to Firmino who scored with his first touch of the game!

With Burnley pressing in the dying embers of the clash, Ben Mee had an excellent chance but his header was magnificently parried away by Alisson.

The Brazil goalkeeper then started off a counter-attack, which ended with Salah looping a ball over to Shaqiri who punished the Clarets.
