Liverpool claimed a 2-0 win over Burnley at Turf Moor, picking up their place at the top of the Premier League table, ahead of Arsenal. The match saw Darwin Nunez break his two-month goal drought, giving the Reds two-point edge over the Gunners who sit second. Nunez wasted no time in making his mark, netting a stylish goal just six minutes into the game. Cody Gakpo set up the Uruguay international, who expertly curled the ball into the bottom right corner, putting Liverpool in an early lead.

Mohamed Salah came close to scoring but struck the crossbar, while a goal from Gakpo was disallowed due to a push by Nunez on Charlie Taylor. The second half saw Liverpool continue their attack, with Harvey Elliott’s goal also disallowed by VAR due to Salah obstructing the goalkeeper’s view. Burnley had a chance to equalize through Johann Berg Gudmundsson, but the Icelandic forward’s header went over the bar. In the dying minute of the encounter, Diogo Jota stole the victory for Liverpool with his 50th goal for the club. Jota capitalized on a counter-attack, slotting the ball past the Burnley goalkeeper to secure the win for Jurgen Klopp’s side.

Just one minute into added time, he provided an assist for Harvey Elliott, who struck a superb goal, bringing the Reds to the top of the Premier League table with just one point. The comeback dealt a blow to Arsenal, who had anticipated traveling to Aston Villa with their top-flight lead intact. However, they are now faced with a tough challenge to beat Unai Emery’s men who are third in the Premier League table, and are yet to lose a single home game in their last 14 encounters. Furthermore, the Saturday’s victory marked a historic milestone for Salah, making him the third Liverpool player to reach the 200-goal mark for the club. Salah, who scored his debut goal in the Premier League against Watford in 2017, has become a prolific scorer for Jurgen Klopp, overtaking records and establishing himself among Liverpool’s greats.
