Ex-Benfica player makes Premier League debut, disaster strikes at the death | OneFootball

Florentino Luís has made his debut for his new club in the Premier League, after coming on during the Burnley - Liverpool match. The defensive midfielder, who was once a starter for Benfica last season, moved to England in the summer transfer window.

Florentino was the only player from Benfica on the match sheet for the game that pitted Burnley against Liverpool, the champions of the last Champions League. Remember that Darwin Nuñez was part of this victorious campaign for the reds, but he ended up leaving the English emblem at the end of the season.

The game was not easy for Liverpool. Florentino started on the bench, but the first half was marked by inefficiency, with the English champions showing their superiority, but without being able to score the lead goal. The score was nil when the referee blew for half-time.

In the second half, the story was similar, with a few different details: Florentino came on in the 63rd minute, to help secure the precious draw for Burnley. He almost managed it, but in the stoppage time, Hannibal handled the ball inside the penalty area - Salah did not waste the penalty, and scored in the 90+5th minute, to confirm a hard-fought victory for Liverpool.

This result maintains Liverpool's 100% winning record after four games, despite many of these matches being decided in the last minutes. Burnley, on the other hand, is in 17th position in the Premier League, with three losses and one win so far.
