Liverpool 2-0 Burnley: Five talking points

The Reds’ first home game of the new Premier League season represented something of a landmark event, with their stadium full of fans for the first time in a little under 18 months.

It had been 528 days since Anfield was last graced by a capacity crowd.

And the 50,000+ Reds in attendance here made sure they were heard on an occasion that was neatly surmised by Jürgen Klopp.

“Everybody was really looking forward to this football festival, to this game, and I think nobody leaves this place today with any kind of disappointment because I think all of our dreams were fulfilled today, atmosphere-wise,” the boss said.
