Liverpool ran out 4-2 winners over Burnley at Anfield as they returned to winning ways in the Premier League.
The Reds had come under criticism for failing to convert draws into wins of late, however they emphatically answered their detractors on Sunday.
Having gone a goal down in the opening ten minutes, Liverpool responded with goals from Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane to hold a fairly comfortable 2-1 lead at half-time.
Firmino then added another with a little under 25 minutes to go, before late drama saw Burnley pull a goal back via Johann Gudmundsson.
However, the Reds remained resilient in added time and Mane put any nerves to bed by completing his brace and handing a 4-2 win to Jurgen Klopp’s side.
The result means that Liverpool close the gap with Manchester City to just one point, with City having beaten Watford on Saturday to edge away at the summit of the Premier League.
Next up is a trip to Munich to face Bayern for the second-leg of their Champions League last-16 tie, before facing Fulham at Craven Cottage this weekend.

Liverpool played well but they could not overcome an early mistake from Alisson that led to Arsenal’s only goal in a 1-0 loss to the Gunners at Anfield. It is Arsenal’s first victory at Anfield since 2012.
As expected, Andoni Iraola made several changes to the Starting XI ahead of the huge EPL clash with Arsenal. Trey Nyoni gets a surprise start in front of Ryan Gravenberch in the midfield while Dominik Szoboszlai return to the bench after recovering from injury.
The match with Arsenal is Liverpool’s 7th of 9 games before the November international break. Therefore, expect Andoni Iraola to continue to rotate heavily and go back to a pretty standard lineup for recent EPL matches. In fact, this is the exact same lineup used against Brighton so it’s a good bet he will go…
