Liverpool secured a dramatic 1-0 Premier League win over Burnley at Turf Moor thanks to a late penalty scored by Mohamed Salah in the 95th minute. The penalty was awarded after a handball by Burnley's Hannibal, providing Salah with the chance to convert and seal all three points for Liverpool just moments before the final whistle[1][3][4].
The match saw Liverpool struggle offensively for much of the game, displaying a lackluster and uninspiring performance. Salah himself was notably quiet, failing to win any duels, complete a dribble, or register a shot until the decisive penalty. Despite this, he remains the crucial match-winner, although his subdued form against Burnley brings concerns about Liverpool's attacking focal point going forward[2].
Liverpool's manager, Arne Slot, was reportedly shocked by the late turnaround, highlighting the dramatic nature of the victory[3]. The team's attacking lineup featured Ekitike centrally, with Wirtz and Gakpo also involved, but none managed to significantly influence the game. The presence of Isak returning to full fitness gives Liverpool's coach tactical flexibility, potentially creating selection dilemmas about how to reintegrate Salah if his form does not improve[2].
The winning moment was a testament to Liverpool’s resilience, as they found a way to break down Burnley’s strong defensive efforts, which had frustrated the visitors throughout the match. The game was characterized by sustained Liverpool pressure but difficulty in creating clear-cut chances until the late handball incident and subsequent penalty[1][5].
