Liverpool fans responded to Paeherie’s ambiguous performance, and Liverpool responded to Bernnein’s 2-0 victory. Both goals by Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota have won three points in front of Jürgen Klopp and are only available on Thursday in the Premier League classification. But it could and should have been more than two for Liverpool, with efforts from Cody Gakpo and Harvey Elliott being assessed by Tierney and the VAR team at Stokely Park.
Gakpo’s first-half strike was ruled out after Nunez was adjudged to have tackled Clarets left-back Charlie Taylor before he could counter-attack, while Elliott’s finish came after a sustained the Reds attack. A VAR review determined that Mohamed Salah’s offside position affected goalkeeper James Trafford’s vision.
