Burnley 0-2 Liverpool: Jurgen Klopp praises Darwin Nunez but are Liverpool ruthless enough?

"Liverpool, top of the league, Liverpool, Liverpool, top of the league."

That was the chant echoing around Turf Moor at full-time on Tuesday, as Jurgen Klopp's men ground out a 2-0 victory over Burnley to hit the summit of the Premier League.

With holders Manchester City lagging behind after last season's Treble-winning exertions, an opportunity has opened up for the Reds - or someone else - to end Pep Guardiola's side's stranglehold on the trophy.

Liverpool have only lost one league game this season but will need to be more ruthless than they have been in recent games if they are to add a second Premier League medal to their collection.
