Overview

• Mohamed Salah converted a 90+5 minute penalty to secure a 1-0 win at Turf Moor and preserve Liverpool’s perfect league start.
• Alexander Isak did not make the matchday squad due to limited fitness after missing pre-season and only playing a brief cameo for Sweden.
• Arne Slot said Isak is being prepared for potential involvement against Atlético Madrid in midweek and will not be rushed to full 90-minute workloads.
• Liverpool named an unchanged XI from the Arsenal win, with Dominik Szoboszlai again at right-back and Hugo Ekitike continuing to lead the line.
• Burnley finished with 10 men after Lesley Ugochukwu’s second yellow card before a Hannibal Mejbri handball led to the decisive spot-kick.
