Liverpool relied on stoppage time once again as Hannibah Mejbri's handball gave Mohamed Salah the chance to strike a late spot kick - to hand Burnley an undeserved defeat.
With the Premier League champions without Alexander Isak, who needs more training time to get back to full fitness, Arne Slot's Premier League champions were heading to a wasteful draw.
They failed to score from 26 shots with around 80 per cent possession - until they were literally handed the win in stoppage time.
After Lesley Ugochukwu's red card for two bookings, former Manchester United midfielder Hannibal raised his hands needlessly in the area to block a cross, leaving referee Michael Oliver no choice but to point to the spot.
Salah, who did not have a shot for the entire game, stepped up to emphatically crash the ball into the top corner.
