It may not be clicking - but it's ticking over nicely

Liverpool have had to turn to somewhat unlikely heroes in each of their three opening games of the Premier League season, but this was a case of the familiar as Mohamed Salah scored a stoppage-time penalty to snatch victory for the Reds at Burnley.

Deserved, yes. Just. They were the dominant side at Turf Moor in a drab encounter. But clear-cut chances were few and far between on a day where Arne Slot's men looked set to be frustrated.

Liverpool recorded 27 shots against the Clarets, but only four were on target. None fell to any of their front four from open play, with Salah's winner coming with the caveat of being a penalty.

Instead, Andy Robertson first tested Martin Dubravka moments after coming on in the first half, before Dominik Szoboszlai stung the Slovakian's gloves from distances after moving into midfield.

Substitute Jeremie Frimpong was also denied by the shot-stopper late on, with all three lining up at fullback at one point or another.
