Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane both scored twice as Liverpool recovered from conceding a controversial opener to beat Burnley 4-2 and close the gap on Premier League leaders Manchester City to one point.
Burnley took the lead in the sixth minute when Ashley Westwood scored direct from a corner, with the ball flying over goalkeeper Alisson, who appeared to be impeded on the line.
Liverpool responded as Firmino scored from close range in the 19th minute and then Mane curled in with a fine first-time finish.
Blustery conditions made it difficult for both sides but Firmino’s second goal in the 67th minute gave the hosts breathing space.
Johann Berg Gudmundsson set up a nervy finish when he struck in injury-time, but Mane replied to make sure of victory.
Aside from the final couple of minutes and the opening spell after Westwood’s goal, Liverpool were largely in control as they closed the gap on City, who beat Watford on Saturday to move four points clear.
Both sides now have eight games left to play as they battle for the title, while Burnley are two points above the relegation zone after a third loss in a row.
