Overview

• Liverpool beat Burnley 1-0 after Hannibal Mejbri handled a Jeremie Frimpong cross, with Mohamed Salah converting the 95th-minute penalty.
• Opta recorded Liverpool as the first Premier League team to win four straight matches with winning goals in the final 10 minutes or later.
• Slot said Alexander Isak missed pre-season and needs a structured build-up, confirming involvement on Wednesday with limited minutes rather than brief cameos in multiple games.
• Milos Kerkez was booked for simulation and substituted before half-time to avoid a potential second yellow, with Andy Robertson replacing him and delivering a team-high five key passes.
• Liverpool’s attack again misfired against a deep block, registering 27 shots with only four on target, as Alexis Mac Allister was withdrawn at half-time in a pre-planned fitness-managed move after a heavy challenge.
