Salah's added-time spot kick breaks Burnley hearts and keeps their perfect EPL record

No Magic But Reds Get Lucky

BURNLEY Liverpool manager Arne Slot admitted he was shocked with the award of an "unbelievable" five minutes of added time, which his side capitalized on as Mohamed Salah scored a last-gasp penalty to seal a 1-0 win against Burnley at Turf Moor on Sept 14.

It allowed the Reds to maintain their perfect record to climb back to the top of the English Premier League.

Slot told Sky Sports: "I settled really bad because after 90 minutes when I saw how much added time there was I was shocked.

"I was still shocked when we got the penalty because five minutes of added time for me was unbelievable. Shocked and then happy Mo scored the penalty."

He added: "Compliments to Burnley for the way they defended. It was difficult for us to find an opening and a few times we were close. If we had scored, the game may have been open but because we didn't they did the same thing.

"We needed a moment of luck, or a moment of magic. We didn't have the magic but we had the luck."

Newly promoted Burnley had kept the champions at bay but a handball from Hannibal Mejbri deep into stoppage time gave Salah a chance to win the match and he made no mistake.
