Opening a party at Turf Moor, Liverpool solidifies their top spot

VIỆT ANH |

Liverpool easily won 3-0 on their trip to Burnley's Turf Moor.

Aaron Lennon starting Joe Gudmundsson is the only change in Burnley's starting lineup compared to round 3. Meanwhile, coach Jurgen Klopp's decision to keep the same starting lineup helped Liverpool beat Arsenal.

Burnley surprised everyone by having the first dangerous chance of the game in the second minute. Chris Wood's shot made goalkeeper Adrian struggle to block. However, Salah soon gave an answer with Burnley's shot against the ball.

Coach Sean Dyche's students gathered in large numbers in the central area as Arsenal did in the previous round. In the first half, they successfully blocked the attacking support of the away team's full-backs - Robertson and Alexander-Arnold.

However, the defender wearing the No. 66 shirt contributed greatly to the opening goal in the 33rd minute. Alexaner-Arnold only intended to cross into the penalty area, but the ball hit Chris Wood, changed direction and went into the net.

It took just 4 more minutes for The Kop to double the gap. Firmino stole the ball from a cross from Ben Mee in midfield. He passed it to Sadio Mane for the Senegalese player to make an accurate finish. This was Mane's 16th Premier League goal in 2019.

The 2-goal advantage from the first half helped Liverpool play comfortably after the break. Burnley hopes to reduce the score with long balls towards the positions of Ashley Barnes and Chris Wood. However, it cannot be difficult for UEFA's Best Player of 2019 - Virgil Van Dijk.

Liverpool still controlled the game with the desire to score the most clearly shown by Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian striker continuously launched shots but could not have his own joy.

By the 80th minute, Liverpool had sealed the final score. Firmino passed the ball down to Salah. The striker wearing the number 9 shirt then promptly rushed up to receive the ball returned from his teammate and fired a shot that defeated Nick Pope.

As a result, Firmino became the first Brazilian player in history to score 50 goals in the Premier League. He is also Liverpool's 9th player to ever reach this milestone. As for the "merseyside Red Devils", they set a new record for themselves with their 13th consecutive victory in the Premier League.

The 3 points helped Liverpool continue to top the Premier League rankings with 12 absolute points after 4 rounds. Burnley is temporarily ranked 11th with 4 points.
