Liverpool leapfrog Arsenal to EPL top stop in 2-0 win over Burnley

Liverpool claimed a 2-0 win over Burnley at Turf Moor, picking up their place at the top of the Premier League table, ahead of Arsenal.

The match saw Darwin Nunez break his two-month goal drought, giving the Reds two-point edge over the Gunners who sit second.

Nunez wasted no time in making his mark, netting a stylish goal just six minutes into the game.

Cody Gakpo set up the Uruguay international, who expertly curled the ball into the bottom right corner, putting Liverpool in an early lead.

Despite dominating the game, Liverpool missed several opportunities to extend their lead.

Mohamed Salah came close to scoring but struck the crossbar, while a goal from Gakpo was disallowed due to a push by Nunez on Charlie Taylor.

The second half saw Liverpool continue their attack, with Harvey Elliott’s goal also disallowed by VAR due to Salah obstructing the goalkeeper’s view.

Burnley had a chance to equalize through Johann Berg Gudmundsson, but the Icelandic forward’s header went over the bar.

In the dying minute of the encounter, Diogo Jota stole the victory for Liverpool with his 50th goal for the club.

Jota capitalized on a counter-attack, slotting the ball past the Burnley goalkeeper to secure the win for Jurgen Klopp’s side.
