In front of the home fans, Liverpool are determined to win. However, coach Jurgen Klopp is having a headache when "The Kop" is missing 9 players due to injury. The only consolation that the German strategist has is the return of Japanese midfielder - Endo after finishing the journey at the 2023 Asian Cup. The 31-year-old player is also guaranteed to be fit and was named in the starting lineup by coach Jurgen Klopp.
With players who controlled the ball well in their squad, Liverpool easily overwhelmed the visitors right from the opening whistle. However, it was not until the 31st minute that Diogo Jota broke the deadlock. Starting from Alexander Arnold's corner kick, the Portuguese striker chose the right position to make a header to beat goalkeeper James Trafford.
On the opposite side, Burnley did not create many opportunities but unexpectedly found an equalizer at the end of the first half from Amdouni's quick strike.

The second half did not change much as the “Red Brigade” created many scoring opportunities. After many efforts, Luis Diaz also scored a goal to raise the score to 2-1 in the 52nd minute. In the 79th minute, the victory of coach Jurgen Klopp and his students was confirmed with a beautiful header by Darwin Nunez.
Winning 3-1, Liverpool also officially reclaimed the top spot from Man City. “The Kop” has 54 points, 2 points more than Man City but has played 1 more match.
Coach Jurgen Klopp expressed his joy: “I am really happy that so many people came to see the great performance today. The players and I always go out on the field with the highest determination and are ready to play our best. The Liverpool boys have shown their class, which is what we need. We have reclaimed the top spot but everything requires a lot of effort.”

It was not until the second half that the London team equalized the score 1-1 thanks to Pape Sarr. Tottenham's emotional comeback was completed in the 90+6 minute thanks to the duo Son Heung-min and Brennan Johnson.
