The Reds clinched a 1-0 victory over the Clarets in Sunday's Premier League encounter courtesy of a last-gasp penalty converted by Mohamed Salah.

Arne Slot's men secured their fourth consecutive win of the campaign to return to the summit of the Premier League standings.

Liverpool was granted the spot-kick by official Michael Oliver following a handball incident involving former Manchester United prospect Hannibal Mejbri.

The penalty ensured Liverpool snatched victory with mere seconds of added time remaining.

Pizzuti posted on Instagram shortly after the final whistle to share a message celebrating Liverpool's triumph over Burnley.

"Another dramatic, heart-racing, extra-time finish for Liverpool," Pizzuti's post declared.

"Another 3 points, another clean sheet- holding on at the top of the table, four matches in

My goodness- still recovering."

Slot revealed why he considers Liverpool were "lucky" to secure victory against Burnley.

He commented: "I know how hard it is to create chances against a team with 11 players in the 18-yard box.

"It's very good that they do this, as they almost got a point, I'm not saying anything negative about them, I'm just explaining how difficult it is against a Premier League team who defends with everyone back and doesn't bring the ball out.

"If we don't score from a set-piece the only thing you can do is score from open play which is quite difficult if you have to play 11 players in their 18-yard box.

"There were no really open chances

A draw was probably what we expected throughout the game.

"But we tried with the substitutions we made to bring on to the pitch all the players we have who can attack, we had six or seven on in the end.

"I don't know if that has anything to do with scoring the goal but we did create the penalty and just before a big chance from Jeremie [Frimpong]
