Liverpool chasing Man City

 Liverpool chasing Man City


Coach Klopp's teachers and students beat Burnley 1-0 in the 25th round of the Premier League taking place on the night of February 13 (Hanoi time).

Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane returned, but could not help Liverpool create a good game against Burnley. Before the heavy rain at Turf Moor and the host's large defense, "The Kop" faced many difficulties and could only look for opportunities from climbing situations.


Burnley was underrated, but created more significant chances in the first half with long passes behind the visitors' defence. "The Clarets" had 2 encounters with Alisson Becker, but the Weghorts and Jay Rodriguez strikers were too sloppy.


Coach Sean Dyche's army squandered the opportunity and paid the price after a moment of unfocused defense. From the corner of the left wing in the 40th minute, Fabinho hit the ball in quick succession to knock out goalkeeper Nick Pope, thereby giving "The Kop" the lead even though they weren't playing better than their opponents.



Liverpool vs Burnley England 1

Fabinho scored his fifth goal in his last seven games for Liverpool in all competitions.

In the second half, Liverpool actively played slowly with short passes in the middle of the field. The away team held the ball 68%, but did not create much pressure for 45 minutes. Salah, Mane showed signs of fatigue after a period of hard work in CAN, while Firmino did not have the best ball feeling.


Against an opponent who controlled the ball too well, Burnley did not have the time and space to attack. The home side only had a few shots from long range from Weghorts. Goalkeeper Alisson is easy to catch the ball.


The second half had 2 significant situations, both belonging to the away team. The first was a clumsy tackle that almost sent the ball into the home net of central defender Ben Mee in the 80th minute. 7 minutes later, Jota had a chance to finish in an unmarked position but before the impact of Tarkowski, the player Portugal hit the billboard.


The match at Turf Moor closed with the minimum score, but brought the maximum score for Liverpool. "The Kop" narrows the gap with Man City to 9 points and has one match left. Meanwhile, Burnley is at the bottom of the rankings and has not enjoyed the joy of winning since October 2021.
