Liverpool vs Burnley LIVE - Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino spare Reds’ blushes after Ashley Westwood goal

Re-live the latest from the Premier League clash at Anfield

Liverpool vs Burnley Premier League preview

Re-live the latest updates live from the Premier League match between Liverpool and Burnley as the title challengers fought back from going an early goal down to see off the relegation-threatened Clarets.

Liverpool were the heavy favourites for the match but it was Burnley who made the fastest start - in bizarre circumstances. Ashley Westwood's corner evaded everyone in the Liverpool penalty area and flew into the back of the net, although James Tarkowski's role in blocking goalkeeper Alisson Becker certainly helped clear its path.

But Liverpool came up with a strong response as two goals in quick succession from Roberto Firmino and Sadio Made put the home side in front before the break. With sleet falling from the skies, the game became a scrappy affair in the second half, but a late flurry of goals saw Firmino add his second Johann Berg Gudmundsson pull one back for Burnley - only for Mane to score again and put the result beyond doubt.

10 min: Liverpool 0-1 Burnley

Liverpool have certainly been shaken by that unusual goal but the crowd are certainly looking to roar them back into the game as sleet starts to fall at Anfield.

Mood.

14 min: Liverpool 0-1 Burnley

First chance for Liverpool!

Salah feeds Firmino, who has not scored in six, but Tarkowski stands firm and deflects the Brazilian's shot over the bar.

17 min: Liverpool 0-1 Burnley

That's a nasty one for Phil Bardsley. He holds off Mane well, who had a low centre of gravity as he protects the ball, but as the Senegalese rises again his head collides with the defender's chin.

He goes down as Liverpool continue their attack but the former Sunderland man is able to carry on.

Looks like someone needed a goal more than Lallana then!

GOAL! Liverpool 1-1 Burnley (Firmino 19')

That's a bit of a defensive mess from Burnley and Liverpool are back in the game.

A lovely one-two between Salah and Mane sees the Egyptian pull it back, and neither Heaton or Tarkowski can cut out the low ball, leaving the Brazilian with the easiest of tasks.

All level again.

24 min: Liverpool 1-1 Burnley

All Liverpool now as Robertson and Alexander-Arnold look to pose more of a threat down the channels.

The latter has a shot from a corner that goes harmlessly over as we seem to be having a bit of all four seasons in one game here.

Dancing in the snow/sleet/rain/hail? Take your pick.

It's relief either way for Firmino.

GOAL! Liverpool 2-1 Burnley (Mane 29')

The Senegalese's 16th goal of the season, and this is perhaps his most instinctive.

Burnley dawdle in clearing the ball and Lallana manages to get a block in, which plays in Salah. Charlie Taylor does well to tackle the Egyptian, but the challenge serves as an assist for Mane as he curls past Heaton in to the far corner.

Six in six at home for Mane and a different feel around Anfield now.

32 min: Liverpool 2-1 Burnley

Mo Salah looks to get in on the act now, but mishits his volley and it goes wide of the near post.

The home side's supporters respond by chanting the Egyptian's name.
