Burnley 0-3 Liverpool: 3 reasons why the Reds won

Everything went wrong for Burnley

Nick Pope denied Mohamed Salah at least twice before Liverpool snuck ahead

Burnley looked reasonably comfortable for the first 30 minutes. Well, as comfortable as you can be against a supremely talented Liverpool side. They were unfortunate that Trent Alexander-Arnold's attempted cross from a deep position nicked off Chris Wood and looped up and past Nick Pope to loop into the top left corner.

Pope had been magnificent till then, making at least two notable saves and keeping his side in the game. Burnley were even finding their feet in attack and seemed likely to score at some point, but the goal and the manner it came in deflated them.

Not too long after, Ben Mee's uncharacteristically weak pass was intercepted by Firmino, and he set Mane free to make it 2-0 at the break.

Burnley seemed for a while in the second half like they still believed, and on one particular occasion when Adrian had strayed away from his goal, Jay Rodriguez could've made Liverpool pay, but the ball just wouldn't settle for him to strike it. All in all, an almost day for the home side.
