Mohamed Salah marked a penalty of the last gap against Burnley Sunday while Liverpool kept their perfect record to go back to the top of the Premier League.
Burnley, just promoted, had kept the champions at bay, but a Hannibal Mejbri’s handball in depth in the arrest time gave Salah the possibility of winning the game and did not make mistakes.
Liverpool has now won all four games of the Premier League this season after the 80th minute.
There are three points away from Arsenal, who went to the top of the Premier League on Saturday with a 3-0 victory against Nottingham Forest.
Visitors dominated possession against Scott Parker’s men but they were unable to break the stalemate.
The slot left the new signature of Alexander Isak outside his team completely after warning that he would facilitate the attack gradually.
But he could still field an impressive striker line-up including Salah, Cody Gakpo, Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike.
Liverpool dominated from the beginning, with Gakpo who has a first view of Goal.
Burnley tried to break quickly when they won possession and Jaidon Anthony shot in the seventh minute.

Ibrahima Konate had the opportunity to give the advantage to Liverpool, but guided the corner of Gakpo above the bar closely.
Milos Kerkez was booked for diving in the middle of the first half and slot withdrew him for Andy Robertson just before the break.
Ryan Gravenberch showed a shot at the beginning of the second half since Burnley was unable to free a corner and Martin Dubravka kept out a long -haul effort of Dominik Szoboszlai.
The slot brought its first striker to the 72nd minute, bringing Federico Chiesa for Ekitike.
The move has almost paid the immediate dividends, but the Italian international has not managed to direct his header from Robertson’s cross on the target.
Burnley were reduced to ten men while in Lesley Ugochukwu a second yellow card was shown for breaking down Wirtz on the edge of the box in the 84th.
The slot launched Jeremie Frimong and Rio Ngumoha for Wirtz and Konate in one last offer for all three points.
Liverpool’s pressure eventually fruit when Mejbri put his arm out and referee Michael Oliver indicated the place.
Salah took a step forward and sautéed the ball on the net, guaranteeing a fourth victory from four games. [EuroSport]
