On Saturday, Liverpool recorded a club record 13th consecutive Premier League win, moving back to the top of the table with a 3-0 victory over Burnley.

Two goals in four first-half minutes swung the game decisively in the visitors' favour, with Chris Wood deflecting Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross into his own net before Sadio Mane's cool finish on the counter-attack doubled Liverpool's advantage.

Roberto Firmino then rounded off the scoring 10 minutes from time, securing Liverpool's 100 percent start to the season after four games.

Victory takes the European champions back two points clear of Manchester City, who were also in dominant form to beat Brighton 4-0 earlier in the day.

Burnley were left to rue missing the first big chance of the match when Wood got in behind the Liverpool defence just three minutes in, but the New Zealander's shot was just too close to Adrian, who palmed the ball to safety.
