Mohamed Salah on the spot as Liverpool break Burnley hearts in stoppage time

Liverpool narrowly defeated Burnley 1-0 in a tightly contested match at Turf Moor. Despite dominating possession, the visitors struggled to break down Burnley's organized defense until a late handball in the box by Hannibal Mejbri in stoppage time resulted in a penalty for Liverpool. Mohamed Salah converted the spot-kick to secure the three points for the champions. The win extends Liverpool's perfect start to the season as they aim to retain the title. Burnley's 10-man effort frustrated the visitors, who lacked conviction in the final third. The absence of Liverpool's record signing, Alexander Isak, was not felt as they managed to grind out the victory in the end.
