“These Reds are bottling nothing”, “Eight to go” – Liverpool fans react to 4-2 win over Burnley

Liverpool fought back from an early upset to seal a 4-2 victory over Burnley, remaining just one point behind Man City at the top of the Premier League.

The Reds conceded their first league goal since the start of February when Ashley Westwood’s corner evaded Alisson, who was pinned down by two Clarets players.

But a brace from Roberto Firmino and a well-taken strike from Sadio Mane gave the hosts a comfortable lead, with Mohamed Salah pushing for a record 50th strike in the English top flight for Liverpool.

It wasn’t to be for the Egyptian, and his side endured a late scare as Johann Berg Gudmundsson beat Alisson to make it 3-2, only for Mane to polish off the game with a tap-in on the break in stoppage time.

On a wild afternoon at Anfield the result was all that mattered, and the Reds have now kept the pressure on City in the title race.

Here’s how supporters saw Liverpool’s 4-2 win on Facebook, Twitter and the This is Anfield forums.

 

Referee Andre Marriner came in for criticism for the opener…
