Look! Liverpool cruise to comfortable 2-0 win against Burnley at Anfield in English Premier League

Liverpool fans pose outside Anfield stadium before the match against Burnley in the English Premier League. The Reds’ opening home game of the 2021-22 campaign was played before a capacity crowd for the first time since March 2020.

Liverpool fans ensured they created a cracking atmosphere inside the stadium. Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp in his matchday programme notes wrote, “Welcome back! And a full welcome. A full Anfield. With a full away support. Football is back and it’s wonderful."

Liverpool's Diogo Jota broke the deadlock with their first goal and celebrated with Trent Alexander-Arnold. He opened the scoring in the 18th minute, heading past Nick Pope from Konstantinos Tsimikas' cross for his second goal in as many games.

Liverpool's Mohamed Salah in action with Burnley's Ben Mee. The Egyptian had the ball in the back of the net but it was ruled out by the video assistant referee as he was offside in the build-up.

Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp urged his players forward sensing there were more goals for the taking against a lackluster Burnley side.

The fit again Virgil van Dijk went close in the first half as Liverpool continued to dominate proceedings. But the Reds had to wait until the second half to grab the second.

And it came from Sadio Mane (right) following a neat move. Virgil van Dijk drifted a pass out wide to Harvey Elliot who found Trent Alexander-Arnold who clipped a first-time pass into the area for Mane. The Senegal international emphatically buried his volley.

It was a promising all-round performance by Liverpool who have won their first two games of the 2021/22 season, scoring five and conceding none so far.

Burnley boss Sean Dyche was looking for back-to-back league wins at Anfield for the first time since 1897 after ending Liverpool's 68-game unbeaten home run last season. But they fell well short in a poor display.
