WHO'S GOING TO BE YOUR

MAN OF THE MATCH?

Jota and Mane lead Liverpool to victory

Diogo Jota and Sadio Mane each scored as Liverpool made it two wins from two, beating Burnley 2-0 at Anfield.

Liverpool struck in either half in front of a first capacity Anfield crowd since their title-winning 2019/20 season.

Burnley made a bright start and went close when Chris Wood had a header saved at the near post.

Liverpool went ahead on 18 minutes when Jota headed in from Konstantinos Tsimikas's cross for his second goal in as many matches.

Burnley almost equalised in first-half stoppage time when James Tarkowski headed narrowly wide.

After twice being denied by Nick Pope in the second half, Mane finally got his goal on 69 minutes when he turned in Trent Alexander-Arnold’s pass to seal the win.

Alisson preserved his clean sheet in stoppage time, superbly denying Ashley Barnes when through on goal.
