Two incredible episodes marked the Burnley-Liverpool match, which ended with the Reds winning at the last second.

At the 16th minute, the home team's number 8, Ugochukwu, made a disorganized and - let's say it - crazy challenge on Mac Allister, who completely twisted his ankle on impact, as shown in the image.

The Argentine stayed on the ground for several minutes, causing fear of the worst, but then continued the game. At halftime, however, he was forced to raise the white flag, staying in the locker room. Many expected an expulsion, but referee Oliver only opted for a yellow card for the Frenchman, with VAR surprisingly not intervening to correct a decision that would have been entirely legitimate. At the 84th minute, however, Ugochukwu was expelled.

The match continued and seemed to end goalless, but in the 94th minute, the episode that decided everything. A naive handball in the penalty area by Hannibal Meibri effectively gifted the penalty and match point to Liverpool.

Momo Salah took the penalty, and with a lightning strike, left Dubravka with no chance, giving his team the crucial three points. With this goal, the Egyptian officially became the fourth highest goal scorer in the Premier League: a whopping 188, surpassing Andy Cole. Ahead of him are Rooney (208), Kane (213), and the legendary Shearer (260).

For Slot and his team, it's the second consecutive narrow victory, four out of four in this start of the season, and all victories achieved with a decisive goal from the 80th minute onwards. The top of the table continues to be a Reds topic.
