"Tough opponent today, we tried our best to get the ball between the lines. It was tough but I am glad we managed it. We have a few new players in the starting line up and it takes time to adapt to our game and we try our best to make them confident in our game. We don't give up. We try and push ourselves to the limit and as team we did that."
"We obviously try to break teams down. We had to be patient and be ready whenever we lost the ball that we're ready to defend the counters, We kept looking for the goal and for the opportunities. We created some good opportunities, not many clear-cut chances. But I think it was a well-deserved win. But if I'm Burnley, it's never nice to concede a penalty. But it was a penalty and Mo slotted it perfectly. Mo is a world-class player and we know he can deliver and step up in these moments as he has done so many times."
Mohamed Salah converted a stoppage-time penalty after Hannibal Mejbri handled the ball, securing Liverpool a last-gasp win at Burnley. The victory completed four successive Premier League wins for Liverpool, with decisive goals arriving in the final ten minutes or later. Liverpool dominated possession (81%) and outshot Burnley 27-3 but managed only four shots on target. Burnley produced a resilient, defensive display that frustrated many attempts. Liverpool emphasized patience, adaptation of new players into the starting lineup, and a refusal to give up that produced the late breakthrough, while team leaders praised Salah's composure for the decisive spot-kick.
