Liverpool came from a goal behind to register a vital victory over a resilient Burnley side at Anfield.
Burnley opened the scoring inside 10 minutes when Ashley Barnes stretched to slot home at the Kop end.
Liverpool replied on the cusp of half-time, Georginio Wijnaldum lashing home a fortuitous ball in the area.
The Reds then took the lead courtesy of a sublime long-range effort from Emre Can on the hour mark.
The victory lifts Liverpool up into fourth place, five points clear of Arsenal who now have two games in hand
It was a rare afternoon for Liverpool in that they played badly and won. It is not a habit Jurgen Klopp will wish his team to acquire.
Sooner rather than later Liverpool are going to have to find some real form if they are not to fall out of the top four of the Premier League.
Nevertheless, every team has to do this occasionally if it is to achieve anything worthwhile at all. With Liverpool it is usually either everything or nothing.
