Liverpool reduce Man City's lead at top of Premier League to nine points with hard-fought 1-0 win at Burnley; Jurgen Klopp hails perfect performance amid challenging Turf Moor conditions
Jurgen Klopp saluted the efforts of his Liverpool players after they dodged a "banana skin" at Burnley to maintain their pursuit of Manchester City.
With rain seemingly blowing around Turf Moor in three different directions at the same time, the conditions seemed ideal for an upset - one Jurgen Klopp's side could ill afford as they started the game 12 points off the leaders.
Klopp started Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino together in attack for the first time since October, but the Reds' new-found goalscoring midfielder proved the difference.
Five minutes before the break, Fabinho's fifth in eight matches helped Liverpool overcome a spirited Burnley and the adverse conditions, to cut City's lead at the top to nine points - a lead which can be reduced to six points if Liverpool win their game in hand.
