Mohamed Salah’s stoppage-time penalty stirs Liverpool to top of Premier League table

Liverpool earned a crucial 3-1 win against relegation-threatened Burnley on Saturday to return to the Premier League summit after being briefly unseated by champions Manchester City.

The Anfield side are hunting a record-equalling 20th English top-flight title in Jurgen Klopp's final season in charge but once again have relentless City for company at the top of the table.

Liverpool, beaten by title rivals Arsenal last week, were not at their fluent best but did enough to get over the line against Vincent Kompany's men, who remain seven points from safety.

City, who beat Everton 2-0 at home in the early kick-off, are two points behind Liverpool with a game in hand as they chase an unprecedented fourth consecutive English top-flight title.

The Reds were gifted the lead when Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford came for a Trent Alexander-Arnold corner but missed the ball and Diogo Jota headed into an empty net for his ninth Premier League goal of the season.

But they were pegged back minutes before half-time when Dara O'Shea's bullet header from a corner gave Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher no chance.

Liverpool were a different proposition in the second half and Luis Diaz put them back in front in the 52nd minute with a header from close range.

David Datro Fofana squandered clear chances to equalise for the visitors -- Kelleher saved well from the forward minutes before Fofana curled wide of the post.

The home fans breathed a huge side of relief when Darwin Nunez headed in Harvey Elliott's fine cross in the 79th minute to open up a two-goal lead, which ultimately proved enough to secure the three points.

While the tensions were high as Liverpool tried to break the deadlock, both the manager Sean Dyche and Klopp were involved in a heated exchange in the tunnel after referee Mike Dean blew the half-time whistle.&nbsp;

However, Dyche has insisted that he was entitled to "fight" for his side's interest as he said both the managers were fighting for their side and wanted to win the game.&nbsp;&nbsp;

"Just two managers fighting for their side, wanting to win,"&nbsp;Dyche said when asked about the incident.&nbsp;

&nbsp;Dyche further said that he has got no problem with such altercations while praising Klopp and Liverpool.&nbsp;

"I’ve got no problem with that, he’s a&nbsp;top-class&nbsp;manager at a&nbsp;top-class&nbsp;football club and you are allowed to say your piece and fight for your side if you feel it’s appropriate, which I did. ‘That’s it for me, it’s a moment in time. End of."&nbsp;

Liverpool vs Burnley: Sean Dyche opens up on Jurgen Klopp tunnel bust-up

Liverpool were handed a setback by Burnley as the newly-crowned <a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/premier-league">Premier League</a> champions ended up drawing 1-1 while Norwich were&nbsp;relegated after Michail Antonio fired four goals to provide West Ham a thumping win on Saturday.

Liverpool are chasing the 100 points record set by Manchester City in 2018 but the champions were held by Burnley for the first time this season at the Anfield.

The Reds now have 93 points to their name and need to win all their remaining three matches against Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle United to break City’s record. The Jurgen Klopp’s men would tie the record if they win two and draw one.&nbsp;

"For moments it was Liverpool against (Nick) Pope. We did everything right and he made saves but we should have scored more, that's on us," Klopp said.

"We didn't close the game and they took their moment. We were angry with the referee but we have to criticise ourselves first for not finishing the game.

"The team do it right 99 per cent of the time but I will never stop criticising them."

Liverpool took the lead with Andrew Robertson’s powerful header but the visitors equalized in the 69th minute. 
Whereas at the Carrow Road, seventh successive defeat for Norwich meant they have now been relegated to Championship.&nbsp;

The Canaries have set an unwanted record with a fifth Premier League relegation after going down on four previous occasions in 1995, 2005, 2014 and 2016.

"We wanted to beat the odds again but when the dust settles the outcome is more or less what was expected. It doesn't take anything away from the fact that we are disappointed," Farke said.

"From the first day after promotion our chances to survive were perhaps 5 percent so in 19 out of 20 cases you will go down. If you have luck and no injuries then you have a chance.

"When we are 100 percent we are competitive but when it's 96 or 97 percent then it sometimes looks like men against boys. That's what I expected."

West Ham's second win in four games was a huge lift to their hopes of staying up.
