A Mohamed is wrong (£ 14.5 million) Penalty deep in injury time ensured that Liverpool maintained their perfect start to the season at Turf Moor.
Our scout notes reflect on the promotion.
Late Salah Pen
Liverpool left it very late, but got the job done with Turf Moor, with Salah’s punishment in injury time that protected a scary victory.
Before that it was not the best afternoon for the Liverpool attackers, because they had trouble breaking down the deep defense of Burnley.
Salah was mainly modest, did not register open play shots and only created one chance.
However, the Reds came out of prison again Jeremie Frimpong‘s (£ 5.9 million) Cross was handled by replacement Hannibal Mjbri (£ 5.0 million).
Cody Agat (£ 7.7 million) In the meantime, the most likely player from Liverpool seemed to be the breakthrough. The Dutchman took a total of five shots, with his corner deliveries from the left that further contributed to his threat.

In terms of Florian Wirtz (£ 8.4 million), he improved in the second half and sent one shot wide from the post just before the hour.
Neither he nor he Hugo Ekitike (£ 8.8 million), which was replaced in the 71st minute, found it easy against Burnley’s three center backs.
Slot explains the ISAK plan
After a quiet international break with his country, in which he was limited to just 18 minutes of football, Alexander Isaac (£ 10.4 million) was not involved at all on Sunday.
Arne Slot later explained his decision and said that the Swede will appear against Atletico Madrid in any capacity on Wednesday.
“We brought him from Newcastle in a state where you could say that his preseason will start now, so then he needs the right minutes of training before he has a certain basis, let alone that he can play twice in three days. So that’s what we do, where we prepare players at the start of the season is [to play] Once a week and then we try to do more and more for at least two games a week, so that they are ready for that schedule.
“Now Alex is ready for that schedule of three games in a week, 90 minutes. But then we could use it for five minutes today and then 10 again on Wednesday, and then 15, but we don’t believe that that is the way to build it. We believe it is the way to give him without giving the player. [and] We have done the same thing, so now he can play as a minimum of 45 on Wednesday or Saturday, and maybe a little more. But if he plays 45 on Wednesday, he does not expect him to play 45 or more on Saturday, because his body is not prepared for that, in our opinion. ” – Arne Slot on Alexander Isak
Why Kerkez + Mac Allister was immersed
There were early outputs for both Milos is coming (£ 6.0 million) and Alexis Mac Allister (£ 6.4 million) at Turf Moor.
Shipped Andrew Robertson (£ 5.9 million) at 37 minutes, after Kerkez had picked up a yellow card to dive.
The left back, which did not make a fully convincing start of his Liverpool career, made a mistake shortly thereafter, which led him to be replaced.
“It was because he got a yellow card. With Milos I can never be 100% sure that he is not making the next mistake, then the fans are on top of the referee. I thought the only way we could lose it today was when we went to 10 men.” – Arne Slot on Milos Kerkez
Robertson was impressed after emerging and created five chances for his teammates.
Mac Allister has since been demolished and replaced by Conor Bradley (£ 5.0 million), a replacement that pushed Dominic (£ 6.5 million) back to central midfield.
But lock divided fears for an injury to Mac Allister in his post-match press:
“It is similar to Alex [Isak] But in a completely different way. He missed a lot of preseason, so he is ready for one game a week, maybe [for] 70 to 90. He played 90 for Argentina and he was really tired after 70. He does not have the right structure to play three games a week for 90 minutes a week, so it was always sure that I would take him back for him to be back on the field on Wednesday and for him back on Saturday. ” – Arne Slot on Alexis Mac Allister
“Spirited” Burnley
Burnley made life particularly difficult for Liverpool, with their hard work hardly undone.
By that moment they were reduced to 10 men afterwards Lesley Bush (£ 5.0 million) A second yellow card was shown for an error on Wirtz.
Nevertheless, Scott Parker can make an enormous encouragement of the performance on his side, after returning to a more conservative 5-4-1 formation on Sunday.
Indeed, three of Burnley’s Back Five – Hjalmar Ekdal (£ 4.0 million), Maxime Was (£ 4.0 million), and Quilindschy Hartman (£ 4.0 million) – all picked up defensive contribution (Defcon) – points:
“You open the field for this team, and they are probably one of the best in the world in terms of exploitation.
“We try to get a result and we try to survive. My team today embodies the mind. They embody every bit of what I have asked of them and that is exactly what I try to go into these players every day.” – Scott Parker
