Liverpool 1 Burnley 1: Mohamed Salah cancels out Scott Arfield’s opener

BURNLEY remain unbeaten away from home after grinding out a 1-1 draw against Liverpool at Anfield.

Scott Arfield expertly put the Clarets in front in the 27th minute, but Mohamed Salah equalised almost immediately for the Reds. Jurgen Klopp will be left wondering how his side failed to get the win after missing a handful of opportunities.

Philippe Coutinho, Daniel Sturridge, Emre Can and Dominic Solanke all went close, but Sean Dyche's side held out for the point.

Stand-in goalkeeper Nick Pope produced a masterclass with a string of second half saves.

Burnley took the lead after another defensive mix-up at the back, as Robbie Brady's header found Arfield, who half-volleyed the ball beyond the outstretched arms of Simon Mignolet.

But just three minutes later Salah netted his third Premier League goal of the season, rifling low under Pope with a fierce low drive.

Countless chances went begging for Liverpool in the second period, as Pope was called into action on nice occasions. Trent Alexander-Arnold had a deflected volley expertly denied when it looked as though it was creeping in the bottom right corner.

Then substitute Solanke somehow missed from six yards out as his volley cannoned off the bar.

However Ben Mee could have won the game for Burnley in the closing stages, as he had a header cleared off the line by Joel Matip, then another attempt well saved by Mignolet.

Liverpool drop to seventh in the table, behind Burnley who sit in sixth place with a better goal difference.
