Burnley 0-1 Liverpool: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Ladbrokes’ post-match review of Burnley 0-1 Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday, 14 September 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Well, it was a tough one for Burnley at home, losing 0-1 to Liverpool. The lads tried their best, but Liverpool's dominance was clear from the start. The game's turning point came in the dying seconds when Mo Salah slotted home a penalty in injury time, sealing the deal for the Reds. Given Burnley's recent form, with a win against Sunderland but losses to Manchester United and Tottenham, this result isn't too surprising. Liverpool, on the other hand, are on fire, extending their winning streak with victories over Arsenal, Newcastle, and Bournemouth before today.

Burnley's defence held firm for most of the match, but that late penalty was a killer. Chimuanya Ugochukwu's sending off in the 84th minute didn't help their cause, leaving them a man down in the crucial final stages. Liverpool, with their relentless pressure, finally got their reward. It's a bitter pill for Burnley to swallow, but they'll need to regroup quickly if they want to climb out of the relegation zone.

The stats tell a story of Liverpool's complete control over the game. With 81% possession and 13 corners compared to Burnley's 19% and 1, it's clear who was dictating play. Liverpool's successful dribbles were at 60%, nearly double Burnley's 29%, showing their superior movement on the ball. The only surprising figure might be the yellow cards, with both teams receiving two, but Burnley's additional red card and yellow/red card highlight their disciplinary issues.

Despite the stats heavily favouring Liverpool, it took a last-gasp penalty for them to secure the win. Burnley's resilience was commendable, but the numbers don't lie – Liverpool were the better side on the day. The injury time goal and penalty stats underline the dramatic nature of the match's conclusion.

The game's defining moment came in the 90+5th minute when Mohamed Salah calmly converted a penalty to give Liverpool the win. It was a heartbreaker for Burnley, who had defended stoutly throughout the match. The penalty was awarded after a tense build-up, and Salah's composure under pressure was the difference.

Burnley's Chimuanya Ugochukwu had a rough day, picking up a yellow card in the 16th minute and then being sent off with a second yellow in the 84th. This left Burnley a man down in the crucial final stages, making their task even harder. The substitutions made by both teams in the second half added fresh legs, but it was Liverpool's late surge that ultimately decided the match.

Burnley lined up in a 5-4-1 formation, with Martin Dúbravka in goal and a back five including Kyle Walker and Maxime Estève. The midfield was anchored by Josh Cullen and Lesley Ugochukwu, with Jaidon Anthony and Lyle Foster leading the attack. The lineup was fairly standard, but the impact of substitutions like Hannibal Mejbri and Florentino Ibrain Morris Luís in the 63rd minute didn't quite turn the tide.

Chimuanya Ugochukwu's red card in the 84th minute was a significant blow, as it left Burnley short-handed when they needed all hands on deck. Despite the effort from the starting XI, it was a challenging day, and the late substitutions couldn't salvage a point.

Liverpool went with a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Alisson between the posts and a solid backline featuring Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté. The midfield was controlled by Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch, with Mohamed Salah and Florian Wirtz providing the attacking threat. The lineup was strong, and the substitutions made, including Andrew Robertson and Federico Chiesa, added depth and energy.

Mohamed Salah's late penalty was the standout moment, but the entire team played well, with Dominik Szoboszlai and Milos Kerkez also making notable contributions. The substitutions in the second half kept the pressure on Burnley, and it paid off in the end.

Mohamed Salah is Ladbrokes’ Man of the Match, and it's no surprise given his crucial role in securing the victory. Scoring the winning goal from a penalty in the 90+5th minute, Salah's composure under pressure was key. With one goal and one key pass, he made the difference when it mattered most, proving once again why he's a vital part of Liverpool's attack.
