For the fourth time in succession, Arne Slot’s champions dug themselves out of a hole in dramatic fashion to continue the 100 percent start to their Premier League title defence.

The game was deep into second-half stoppage time when Burnley substitute Hannibal Mejbri flung an arm out to block Jeremie Frimpong’s cross and give referee Michael Oliver no option.

Mohamed Salah, who had missed his previous two spot-kicks, smashed home beyond Martin Dubravka to consign Burnley to more penalty heartbreak after late defeat at Old Trafford last time out.
