Liverpool vs Burnley Match Report

Two goals from Liverpool sunk Burnley and made it four league wins in a row for the team in red.

 

They have now taken 13 points out of the last 15 available and look in a good position to make the top four at the end of the season.

 

Liverpool started the game brightly. Sterling and Sturridge played a neat one two and then and equally good one two was played between Sturridge and Lallana. Sturridge’s shot however was tipped away by Burnley keeper Tom Heaton.

 

Heaton made another save from Henderson after Sterling received the ball on the right wing. He twisted and turned his way into the box and squared the ball to Liverpool’s captain who placed a low shot towards the bottom corner but it was tipped away.

 

On 29 minutes Liverpool did take the lead. Philippe Coutinho had a shot blocked but the ball rebounded to Henderson who hit a sweet shot into the corner of the net with the outside of his right boot. He has now made it two goals in his last two games.

 

Daniel Sturridge could’ve made it two nil before half time when he was played through by Philippe Coutinho. Unfortunately for him his shot was saved by the legs of Heaton.

 

Shortly after half time Sturridge did score. Lallana did well to keep the ball in the Burnley half before playing the ball to Henderson. He played a deep cross towards Sturridge who headed beyond the keeper for his third league goal of the season.

 

Alberto Mereno could have added to the scoreline when Raheem Sterling played a cross across the box that evaded everyone else. His shot however went high and wide.

 

In all honesty Burnley rarely threatened and it was about as comfortable as it could get for a Liverpool side who dominated both possession and attempts on goal.

 

They remain unbeaten in the league in 2015 and haven’t lost a league game in 11 attempts. Everything looks to be clicking together at just the right time and it will put Liverpool in good stead for the final push at the end of the season.

 

Burnley meanwhile are three points off safety and will be hoping to start winning soon.

 

Liverpools next game is in the FA cup at home to Blackburn Rovers on Sunday.
