LONDON: Ragnar Klavan's last-gasp goal gave Liverpool a dramatic 2-1 win at Burnley.

With Philippe Coutinho and Mohamed Salah missing due to thigh and groin injuries respectively and Roberto Firmino left on the bench, Sadio Mane was the lone member of Liverpool's 'Fab Four' to start at rain-lashed Turf Moor.

After a scrappy first half, Senegal winger Mane showed Liverpool can thrive without his star team-mates as he opened the scoring in the 61st minute.

Mane collected Trent Alexander-Arnold's pass and hammered home from the edge of the area for his eighth Liverpool goal this



season.

Burnley equalised with just three minutes left as Sam Vokes flicked on and Johann Gudmundsson pounced to slot home.

But Liverpool's Dejan Lovren headed on a free-kick four minutes into stoppage-time and Estonia defender Klavan poked home from close-range.

Liverpool's third successive win extended their unbeaten league run to 13 games as they cemented their place in the top four.

The injuries to Coutinho and Salah are believed to be minor and the in-form pair are expected to have a chance of playing in Friday's FA Cup third round tie against Merseyside rivals Everton.
