LIVERPOOL got their revenge on Burnley, grinding out a 2-1 at Anfield.
By JAMES CAMBRIDGE
Liverpool had a score to settle against Sean Dyche's side after suffering a 2-0 defeat earlier in the season.
And it looked as if history was about to repeat itself as Ashley Barnes fired Burnley ahead inside 10 minutes.
The striker latched onto a ball from Matt Lowton at the back post, finishing it off with a deft flick from about eight yards with the outside of his boot.
But if there's one thing Burnley cannot do this season, it is win away from home and they let the Reds back into the game before half-time.
Georginio Wijnaldum brought the home side level with their first real effort on goal in the first half, side-footing the ball past Tom Heaton from six yards.
After the restart Jurgen Klopp's side seized the initiative and found themselves ahead on 61 minutes thanks to a piece of magic from Emre Can.
The Germany international unleashed a fierce low drive from about 30 yards which found its ay into the bottom right-hand corner, past Heaton.
The Reds came close to making it 3-1 late on as a Sadio Mane was allowed to weave through the Burnley defence.
But the Senegal international was denied by Heaton who dipped his effort over the crossbar.
