Anfield was treated to pure drama on Friday night as Liverpool snatched victory at the death, punishing Burnley for a defensive collapse deep into stoppage time.
With the score level and the game hanging on a knife’s edge, Burnley’s backline crumbled under pressure in the 95th minute, conceding a penalty in chaotic fashion. The referee had no hesitation in pointing to the spot after a clumsy challenge inside the box.
The weight of the game then fell to Mohamed Salah, Liverpool’s talisman and penalty specialist. The Egyptian forward showed his trademark composure, sending the Burnley keeper the wrong way with an ice-cold finish that sealed all three points for the Reds.
For Burnley, it was heartbreak. After fighting bravely for nearly the entire match, a single lapse in concentration cost them everything in the dying seconds.
For Liverpool, however, it was a statement of resilience — proof that even when not at their best, they can still dig deep and find a way to win. Salah’s late strike ensured a dramatic ending and kept Liverpool firmly in the hunt for the Premier League’s top positions.
The roar of relief and celebration inside Anfield said it all: this was more than just a win — it was a reminder that Klopp’s side never stop fighting until the very last whistle.
