Burnley vs Liverpool [0-2] | All Goals & Extended Highlights | Premier League 2023/24

Liverpool leap above Arsenal to reach the Premier League summit; Darwin Nunez and a late Diogo Jota goal did the damage.

Liverpool moved top of the Premier League after Darwin Nunez ended his goal drought in a 2-0 win at Burnley on Boxing Day.

The Uruguayan striker had gone over 600 minutes without a goal but scored early at Turf Moor, rifling an effort home from the edge of the box.

Despite registering eight shots on target in the first half, Liverpool struggled in front of goal with VAR coming to Burnley’s rescue just after half-time when Harvey Elliott’s effort was ruled out for Mohamed Salah standing in an offside position.

The longer the game progressed, the more Burnley sensed an equaliser as Jurgen Klopp’s men became sloppy but Johann Berg Gudmundsson squandered a glorious chance when heading over from close range.

Liverpool wrapped up the points in stoppage time when the returning Diogo Jota slotted home from a tight angle.

In the sixth minute of an opening half in which the Reds created a series of chances, Nunez brilliantly dispatched Cody Gakpo’s lay-up to the bottom corner from the edge of the area.

A more even second period, which included a disallowed effort for Harvey Elliott, ensued at Turf Moor but the visitors made sure of three points via the returning Jota late on
