Liverpool player ratings vs Burnley: ANOTHER late, late show for the Reds! Mohamed Salah redeems himself with winner after dropping stinker as sloppy champions maintain perfect Premier League record

Liverpool secured a dramatic 1-0 victory over Burnley with a 95th-minute penalty converted by Mohamed Salah, maintaining their 100% winning start to the Premier League season. This marks their fourth consecutive late winning goal in as many matches.

Despite Burnley's resilient defensive performance, which limited Liverpool to just four shots on target, a handball by Hannibal Mejbri in stoppage time resulted in the decisive penalty. Salah confidently scored from the spot to spare Liverpool from a goalless draw.

Liverpool's attack appeared lackluster throughout the match, particularly in the absence of new signing Alexander Isak, raising concerns about their offensive effectiveness under manager Arne Slot. Burnley's goalkeeper Martin Dubravka and defense repeatedly thwarted Liverpool's attempts until the late sending-off of Lesley Ugochukwu and the subsequent penalty incident.

The victory underscores Liverpool's ability to grind out results even when not performing at their best, while Burnley were left disappointed after coming close to earning a point.
