‘We don’t give up,’ insisted Mohamed Salah after his 95th-minute penalty gave Liverpool another dramatic late win on Sunday.
Having begun their Premier League title defence with three consecutive victories that were each clinched in the closing stages before the international break, Arne Slot’s men did it again versus Burnley.
The champions’ dominance for much of the Turf Moor contest had not translated into a breakthrough, but a penalty for handball gave Salah a chance.
The Egyptian duly lashed in the spot-kick to bag three points in more memorable fashion.
“It’s a tough opponent today,” Salah, whose goal took him to outright fourth on the Premier League’s all-time top scorers list, told Sky Sports afterwards.
“We tried our best to play the ball between the lines, but it’s tough to win. I’m glad that in the end we managed to win the game.
“The players are adapting to our system. We had a few new players in the starting line-up. It takes time to adapt their game to our game.
“We try to make them comfortable in a game. Alex [Isak] also came last week and he’s going to be in the team. We try to find the balance.
“We don’t give up. We just try to push ourselves and our team to the limit.”
