"Liverpool" decided to start the new year by preserving their leaders, but still managed to beat "Burnely" 2:1.
However, this victory required a last-minute goal from defender Ragnar Klavan, as in the 87th minute "Burnely" managed to equalize the score. The author of the first "Liverpool" goal, Sadio Mane, admits that the football displayed was not very good, but the victory is well-deserved.
"I don't think it was one of our best matches, but we definitely deserved the victory because we had many opportunities and scored two goals. We were missing some key players. But we have other players we can trust and we know they will play well.
The most important thing is that we are a great team, an amazing club and we are moving in the right direction. Everyone is working hard, so we deserved this victory," said S. Mane.
