Liverpool 2-1 Burnley: Emre Can screamer seals comeback victory for the Reds at Anfield

Liverpool came from behind to emerge victorious against a resilient Burnley side at Anfield, a sublime long-range effort from German midfielder Emre Can sealing victory.

The visitors opened the scoring inside 10 minutes, a clever piece of link-up play seeing Matthew Lowton picked out Ashley Barnes with a cross-field ball for the striker to slot home in front of the Kop.

Burnley continued with heavy pressure well up until the verge of half-time, but it was Liverpool who would head into the break with a level scoreline. Dutchman Georginio Wijnaludum reacting quickest to a fortuitous loose ball in the Clarets box to lash home.
