Match report: Liverpool snatch dramatic late victory at Burnley
In an encounter often short on clear-cut chances, Sadio Mane produced the opener just over an hour in by walloping a shot high into the net having controlled Trent Alexander-Arnold’s cross.
Jürgen Klopp’s side looked to have preserved their slender advantage in the face of late pressure but were then undone by Johann Berg Gudmundsson’s back-post header on 88 minutes.
But there was time for more. Dejan Lovren nodded a deep set-piece across goal and Ragnar Klavan was there to forced the ball over the goalline and snatch all three points.
The key points…
Burnley go closest to opener in goalless first half
Mane breaks deadlock with touch-and-turn smash
Gudmundsson leveller looked to have salvaged draw
