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.
