Nunez Scores as Liverpool Beats Burnley

Liverpool returned to the top of the Premier League thanks to Darwin Nunez's first league goal in nearly two months, helping them secure a 2-0 win against struggling hosts Burnley on Tuesday. Nunez's goal in the sixth minute gave Liverpool a great start at Turf Moor, but manager Jurgen Klopp's team could not kill off the match. The crossbar denied a shot from Mohamed Salah, and the referee ruled out goals from Cody Gakpo and Harvey Elliott, as Burnley held firm before Diogo Jota sealed the victory in the 90th minute to secure all three points. Burnley, now in 19th place, had some chances, especially in the second half, and nearly equalized when Jacob Bruun Larsen's shot went wide of the post. After achieving their first win in three league matches, Liverpool surpassed Arsenal, reaching the mid-season mark with 42 points. Arsenal, with 40 points, will host West Ham United on Thursday.
