5 things from Burnley 2-0 Liverpool: Reds out of position, Clarets out of the traps

1. Direct Burnley trouble Liverpool defence

Despite his tarring and feathering, Alberto Moreno wasn’t solely to blame for Liverpool’s suspect defending on the opening day of the season and this was highlighted further when Burnley found themselves with a two-goal advantage. Inside two minutes Sam Vokes caught both Dejan Lovren and Simon Mignolet napping when he was allowed the time and space to turn on the edge of the area before unleashing a ferocious strike past the Belgian goalkeeper.

Burnley started with a high intensity which appeared to unnerve Liverpool, with Andre Gray and George Boyd runing at the defence.
