"It took a 95th-minute penalty from Mohamed Salah to ensure Liverpool returned to the Premier League's summit as they secured a last-gasp 1-0 win against 10-man Burnley at Turf Moor. A stubborn Burnley rearguard looked set to hold out for a point against the Premier League champions on Sunday, even when Lesley Ugochukwu received his marching orders. Arne Slot left British record signing Alexander Isak out of his matchday squad."
"Salah has now scored 188 Premier League goals, moving ahead of Andrew Cole (187) into outright fourth in the top goalscorers chart. Wayne Rooney is third on 208. Despite this huge number of Premier League goals, the Egyptian's penalty against Burnley was his first winning goal scored in the 90th minute or later. Liverpool have become the first team in Premier League history to record four straight victories with the decisive goal coming in the final 10 minutes or later,"
Mohamed Salah converted a 95th-minute penalty to give Liverpool a 1-0 victory over 10-man Burnley at Turf Moor. Burnley defended resolutely and appeared likely to secure a point even after Lesley Ugochukwu was sent off for a second yellow card. Manager Arne Slot omitted Alexander Isak from the squad, and Liverpool struggled to break down Burnley's stoic rearguard despite chances from Dominik Szoboszlai and Federico Chiesa. The decisive penalty followed Hannibal Mejbri's handball blocking Jeremie Frimpong's cross. Salah's goal moved him to 188 Premier League strikes, placing him fourth all-time, and Liverpool have scored in every top-flight match for a year.
