Liverpool travelled to Burnley in search of a win to stay on the tailcoats of City, who had won a day earlier. The fixture, which Liverpool won last year thanks to a Klavan D'Or, needed a repetition. Liverpool delivered the goods late on to stay in pursuit.
The key observations from the game
Testing the depth

James Milner's long and impressive career has had many strings attached to its bow, the latest coming as part of an ever-growing Liverpool team.
Whilst many have fairly questioned the decision to bring him in on such large wages in 2015, he's done more than enough to prove his worth to the squad - albeit...
Liverpool’s Champions League hopes took yet another battering, this time in Paris, where Liverpool suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of PSG. But what were the key stats from another humbling night for the Reds, which sees their Champions League campaign hanging by a thread?
No Anfield? Big Problems.
Liverpool completed a hat-trick of shambolic...
Remember when people said that £75 million was an exorbitant fee?
Liverpool have gone from a notoriously shaky defence, one which is able to instil fear into even the most resilient of Liverpool fans when they conceded a corner, to one which instils fear into event the sharpest of strikers.
And a lot of Liverpool’s surge...
Liverpool are currently ailing.
It seems almost ludicrous to say, given they currently sit two points behind the automaton that is table-topping Manchester City, but ask any fan and the 2-0 defeat to Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League was not an outlier of a result.
Not when Liverpool couldn’t take advantage of Arsenal’s obvious...
That was embarrassing, wasn't it?
Like, really embarrassing.
Red Star 2-0 Liverpool and the sad thing was you knew it was over at 2-0. Couldn't tell you why really. The team has fight, they've displayed that already this season. There's quality going forward, they've proved that this season. But you knew.
An off night, or a result...
RedStar 2 Liverpool 0
Alisson, Trent, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Milner, Lallana, Mané, Salah, Sturridge
Substitutes:
Gomez, Firmino, Origi
Pavkov… It’s one of those names that will end up being converted to a curse word from now on. Every time you stub a toe or pinch a finger, “PAVKOV!!!”
The trouble really started against Arsenal. Klopp’s reluctance to...
Philosophical debates will be had around the dinner tables of Merseyside as Liverpool fans reflect on Saturday's draw with Arsenal, struggling to decide if it's one point gained or two points dropped.
Glass half full, or half empty? After a 1-1 draw that include moments of genius combined with moments of madness, incompetency from officials...
Since the 2013/14 run-in specifically, but probably far before that, there has been a sect of Reds supporters who have not felt safe to embrace positivity. There have been peaks and valleys where the legions of the negative have ebbed and flowed. If you’ve been so kind to have listened to me on various...
It's hard to think of a Liverpool signing in the last decade that brought as much delight as the capture of Naby Keita.
Luis Suarez is a name that instantly springs to mind, but when he traded Amsterdam for Anfield he wasn’t the world-beater he would go on to become.
Mo Salah and Sadio Mane both...
