Burnley's early goal did unsettle the Anfield and essence of agitation was everywhere in the Stadium. Sean Dyche's Burnley is a side which likes such situations when they take an early lead and then defend tightly and trouble the opponent with a high degree of physicality.

Thus, a very quick response was needed from the hosts and they did so thanks to strikes from Firmino and Mane. Maybe it would have been a tough afternoon for the Reds if they hadn't gained lead quickly.

After pulling level, they were able to balance the game and turned everything in their favor. Although Burnley continued to fight harder, The Reds didn't give them the chance to hurt them as they dominated proceedings and secured a vital victory to keep them close to Manchester City in the Premier League title race
