Lallana explains his 'game-changing' moment v Burnley

With the scoreline reading 1-1 at Anfield on Sunday after Roberto Firmino had equalised Ashley Westwood’s early opener, midfielder Lallana slid in to block Phil Bardsley’s attempted clearance around 25 yards from goal.

The ball duly cannoned off Liverpool’s No.20 and back into the danger area where, after Mohamed Salah had been denied by a desperate last-ditch challenge, Sadio Mane was free to curl home and put the Reds ahead in the 29th minute.

Klopp’s side went on to beat the Clarets 4-2 thanks to second-half strikes by Firmino and Mane and, during his post-match press conference, the manager praised a ‘fantastic counter-pressing block’ that formed part of a Man of the Match-winning performance from Lallana.
