defy the laws of gravity, warting Mo Salah and Sadio Mane with incredible fingertip stops.
But the Clarets keeper didn’t have a prayer when bertson put Liverpool ahead 34th minute. rpool’s left-back found himself ing Burnley’s box on the right when Fabinho caressed a ous cross in his direction. Mane and Roberto Firmino d have been proud of the r that found the top corner. Burnley got to the break without further mishap. And when Liverpool failed to put the game to bed, the visitors grew in confidence.
Firmino hit the post and teenager Curtis Jones blotted an otherwise fine performance by blazing wide.
Liverpool seemed set to move a big step closer to Manchester City’s 100-point haul set two years ago – then Rodriguez struck.
Ashley Westwood’s long free-kick was met by a towering downward James Tarkowski header. Rodriguez let the ball to bounce and thrashed a 18-yard low drive past Alisson.
When sub Gudmundsson hit the bar with a chance he should have taken, the result looked up for grabs – and then Pope’s smart work kept out Salah’s injury-time effort.
