 "Uruguayan Darwin Núñez Shines as Liverpool Returns to Winning Ways in Premier League Match Against Burnley")
Uruguayan scored from outside the area and Portuguese smiled again after a month of absence
After two draws in a row, with Manchester United and Arsenal, Liverpool returned to winning ways at Burnely, on the 19th round of the Premier League, in a triumph that began to be built with a goal by Darwin Núnez to open the match. (6′) – it was the former Benfica player’s eighth of the season.
However, the game wasn’t perfect for Darwin, who shortly after (17′) caught the eye for missing a backheel pass when trying to put the ball to Salah.
Furthermore, in the first half, Burnley’s goalkeeper, James Trafford, stood out by making seven saves and thus giving his team hope of winning points.
It was a half-hearted Liverpool team that came out of the break, as they insisted on not hitting the opponent’s goal (only two shots were taken in the second half), but scored a goal, through Harvey Elliott, which was disallowed after the intervention of the VAR and which led to protests from Jurgen Klopp’s team.
The Clarets still threatened to draw, but Diogo Jota, who hadn’t played since November 25th against Manchester City, entered the field in the 84th minute and took just six minutes to score.
Liverpool thus returns, albeit in condition, to the leadership of the Premier League, now having 42 points. Burnley remains in 19th place, in the relegation zone, with 11 points.
