Mohamed Salah's dramatic stoppage-time penalty secured Liverpool a 1-0 win over Burnley on Sunday, maintaining their perfect start to the Premier League season.
British record signing Alexander Isak was left out of the squad, delaying his much-anticipated Liverpool debut. The reigning champions struggled to break down a resolute Burnley defence throughout a frustrating first half in Lancashire.
After a regroup at the break, the visitors upped the ante in the second half, with Dominik Szoboszlai finally forcing a fine save from Martin Dubravka in the Burnley goal.
Burnley were holding on for a well-earned point with ease, before the ball agonisingly struck substitute Hannibal Mejbri's arm in the penalty area and Salah slotted the spot kick into the net in the 95th minute to break home hearts.
