A Chris Wood own goal and strikes from Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino give Liverpool a comfortable 3-0 Premier League win over Burnley.
Match Report
Liverpool's flawless start to the Premier League season continued against Burnley as they clinched a record-setting 3-0 victory at Turf Moor.
An own goal from Chris Wood and strikes from Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino - his 50th for the Reds - delivered a 13th successive league win, a new club all-time high.
Jurgen Klopp's side have been victorious in all four of their opening league fixtures and are two points clear of defending champions Manchester City at the top of the table.
The Champions League holders took the lead when Trent Alexander-Arnold’s cross deflected in off Wood, and Mane added a second before the break with a clinical finish.

Salah is a very good player but sometimes he will annoy you for his selfishness. we could have scored more than five goals if Salah passed the ball to mane.

Mo Salah has become more selfish. His assist was completely unintentional.

MO Salah creates most chances for Liverpool But still he is most selfish player in LFC🤔🤔 He is very good playmaker and finisher but selfishness is creating bad environment But still he is LFC King and Mane is Lion of LFC
