"In Liverpool's activation room at the AXA Training Centre, the walls are lined with photographs from each of their Premier League matches this season. On Monday morning, Mohamed Salah's face will be displayed alongside images of Federico Chiesa, Rio Ngumoha and Dominik Szoboszlai -- the match winners in victories over AFC Bournemouth, Newcastle United and Arsenal respectively -- after his 95th-minute penalty secured all three points for Arne Slot's side in a 1-0 victory at Burnley."
"Many of the headlines in the buildup to Sunday's clash centred around a player who didn't even make the matchday squad at Turf Moor. Alexander Isak, who joined Liverpool from Newcastle in a British record £125 million deal on deadline day, didn't travel with Slot's squad, with his manager admitting after the game the player is "far from ready" to play three games a week following a disrupted preseason."
Liverpool beat Burnley 1-0 thanks to Mohamed Salah's 95th-minute penalty, maintaining a flawless start to the Premier League campaign. The performance was not vintage, but Liverpool showed resilience despite creating few clear chances. The visitors dominated the first half with 78% possession and 10 shots to Burnley's two, yet Andrew Robertson's tame effort was the only presentable attempt. Alexander Isak, signed from Newcastle for £125 million, did not travel as he remains "far from ready" to play three games a week following a disrupted preseason. Milos Kerkez was replaced by Robertson after a booking for simulation in the 38th minute.
