On the other hand, Burnley could not put a single shot on target with 3 shots on goal by the Reds. Despite playing a strong football against them, Liverpool could not break the deadlock in the stipulated time due to the failure of the forwards.
Burnley was dreaming of sharing the points and leaving the field. However, Salah ruined their hopes of sharing the points in the fifth minute of added time. This Egyptian star footballer scored the ball into the net from a successful spot kick. Before that, Liverpool got a penalty when Hannibal Mejbri got the ball in his hand.
Burnley became a team of 10 men 9 minutes before conceding the only goal.
