da leao： Jurgen Klopp's side dominated at Turf Moor but couldn't put the game away until late on as they ran out 2-0 winners

da brdice： Liverpool moved back to the top of the Premier League table for at least the next 48 hours after they secured a 2-0 win at Burnley that was far closer than it should have been given how much the Reds dominated their hosts.

Darwin Nunez proved to be the match-winner as he curled in a superb strike from 20 yards inside the first 10 minutes to end a 12-match drought. From there, Jurgen Klopp's side attacked relentlessly, but struggled to find a second goal to give them comfort.

Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford made a string of excellent saves while Mohamed Salah struck the bar and both Cody Gakpo and Harvey Elliott had goals disallowed either side of half-time. At the other end, Burnley had spells of pressure, but never really tested Alisson Becker before the returning Diogo Jota stepped off the bench to seal the points with a goal from a tight angle.

GOAL rates Liverpool's players from Turf Moor…

Getty ImagesGoalkeeper & Defence

Alisson Becker (6/10):

A spectator for much of the game. One misplaced pass apart, he didn't put a foot wrong when he was called upon.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (5/10):

Couldn't quite get into the game from a creative point of view as he has in recent weeks. Had a couple of dodgy defensive moments, too.

Jarell Quansah (7/10):

Another assured showing from the youngster, even if he wasn't tested that much aside from one spell in the second half.

Virgil van Dijk (7/10):

Exuded class throughout. His mere presence seems to intimidate opposition forwards.

Joe Gomez (7/10):

Filled in admirably at left-back as Burnley targeted his side to launch attacks. Got forward well to support attacks, too.

Harvey Elliott (7/10):

An energetic presence in midfield. Unfortunate to have a fine goal disallowed early in the second half before being replaced shortly after.

Wataru Endo (5/10):

Broke up play at times but still doesn't do enough with the ball when he gets on it, especially against lesser teams. Poor pass almost gifted Burnley a late equaliser.

Ryan Gravenberch (6/10):

Showed good poise in midfield but lacked a bit of cutting edge. Still waiting for his breakout Premier League performance.

Mohamed Salah (4/10):

Struggling to have the same overall impact as he was earlier in the season. Cut a frustrated figure at times.

Darwin Nunez (7/10):

Superb finish broke the deadlock early. Unlucky that a couple of other nice touches around the box didn't come off, but was much brighter than his attacking colleagues.

Cody Gakpo (7/10):

Excellent in build-up play, particularly in creating Nunez's opener. Will wonder how he didn't get on the scoresheet after missing a host of first-half chances and having a fine strike disallowed.

Getty ImagesSubs & Manager

Curtis Jones (6/10):

On for the final quarter of the game and maintained some energy in midfield.

Dominik Szoboszlai (5/10):

Left out for the first time in the Premier League all season and missed a great chance to seal the points shortly after coming on.

Luis Diaz (5/10):

Pretty quiet after replacing Gakpo down the left, though did force Trafford into a late save.

Diogo Jota (7/10):

His late return will be a huge boost as Liverpool's forwards have faltered without him, and he showed what he can do with his fine late finish.

Jurgen Klopp (6/10):

Freshened his team up and Nunez repaid him for bringing him back into the line-up. Still needs to figure out a way to get more out of his forward line.
