Overview

• Michael Oliver awarded a late spot-kick for a Hannibal Mejbri handball after a Jeremie Frimpong cross, and Mohamed Salah converted for a 1-0 win.
• The penalty was given on the field without a VAR review and arrived deep in stoppage time as Burnley’s deep block had held out for most of the match.
• Salah’s goal takes his Premier League tally to 188, giving him fourth place on the all-time scoring list behind Alan Shearer, Harry Kane and Wayne Rooney.
• Liverpool reported fresh concerns as Milos Kerkez was withdrawn as a precaution before halftime and Alexis Mac Allister suffered an ankle twist that could affect midweek selection.
• Manager Arne Slot said Alexander Isak was left out due to limited training after international duty, not because of injury.
