Burnley 0-1 Liverpool: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Coral’s post-match review of Burnley 0-1 Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday, 14 September 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Liverpool secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Burnley at Turf Moor, extending their winning streak to four matches. The game was a testament to Liverpool's dominance, as they controlled possession and created numerous chances, though they only managed to break the deadlock in injury time through a Mohamed Salah penalty. For Burnley, this loss marks their third defeat in four games, highlighting their struggles at the start of the season. Despite a spirited performance, Burnley couldn't overcome Liverpool's relentless pressure, and the result was not surprising given the form of both teams.

The statistics from the match clearly reflect Liverpool's dominance, with 81% possession compared to Burnley's 19%. Liverpool's control was further evidenced by their 13 corners to Burnley's single corner, showcasing their ability to create scoring opportunities. Burnley's discipline issues were apparent, as they received two yellow cards and a red card, which likely contributed to their inability to mount a comeback. The significant disparity in possession and successful dribbles (60% for Liverpool vs. 29% for Burnley) underscores the difference in quality between the two sides.

The turning point of the match came in the 90+5th minute when Mohamed Salah converted a penalty to secure the win for Liverpool. This late goal was crucial, as it was the only time either team managed to find the back of the net despite Liverpool's dominance throughout the game. For Burnley, the sending off of Chimuanya Ugochukwu in the 84th minute after receiving a second yellow card was a significant blow, reducing them to ten men and making it even harder to salvage a point. The substitutions made by both teams in the second half did not significantly alter the flow of the game, with Liverpool maintaining their control.

Burnley lined up in a 5-4-1 formation, with Martin Dúbravka in goal and a back five of Kyle Walker, Josh Laurent, Hjalmar Ekdal, Maxime Estève, and Quilindschy Hartman. The midfield was anchored by Loum Tchaouna and Josh Cullen, with Lesley Ugochukwu and Jaidon Anthony providing support to lone striker Lyle Foster. The lineup was fairly standard, but the red card to Ugochukwu in the 84th minute disrupted their plans. The substitutions of Hannibal Mejbri, Florentino Ibrain Morris Luís, Joe Worrall, and Armando Broja were attempts to change the game's momentum, but they were unable to prevent the late Liverpool goal.

Liverpool deployed a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Alisson in goal and a back four of Dominik Szoboszlai, Ibrahima Konaté, Virgil van Dijk, and Milos Kerkez. The midfield duo of Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister provided stability, while Mohamed Salah, Florian Wirtz, and C. Gakpo supported striker Hugo Ekitiké. The lineup was strong and unchanged until the substitutions of Andrew Robertson, Conor Bradley, Federico Chiesa, Jeremie Frimpong, and Rio Ngumoha, which helped maintain Liverpool's control. Salah's late penalty was the decisive moment, highlighting his importance to the team.

Mohamed Salah is Coral’s Man of the Match, and his performance justified this accolade. Scoring the winning goal from a penalty in the 90+5th minute, Salah demonstrated his composure under pressure. His contribution was crucial, as he not only scored the only goal of the game but also made one key pass, showing his ability to influence the match in multiple ways.
