Liverpool moved top of the Premier League after Darwin Nunez ended his goal drought in a 2-0 win at Burnley on Boxing Day.
The Uruguay striker had gone over 600 minutes without a goal but scored early at Turf Moor, rifling an effort home from the edge of the box.
Despite registering eight shots on target in the first half, Liverpool struggled in front of goal with VAR coming to Burnley's rescue just after half-time when Harvey Elliott's effort was ruled out for Mohamed Salah standing in an offside position.
The longer the game progressed, the more Burnley sensed an equaliser as Jurgen Klopp's team became sloppy but Johann Berg Gudmundsson squandered a glorious chance when heading over from close range.
Liverpool wrapped up the points in stoppage time when the returning Diogo Jota slotted home from a tight angle.

Nunez, back into the starting XI after missing the Arsenal game, fired Klopp's men into a sixth-minute lead at Turf Moor with his first goal in 13 matches in all competitions. It was a fantastic strike from the edge of the area and looked to be setting Liverpool on their way to a comfortable Boxing Day stroll.
Jurgen Klopp speaking to Amazon Prime: "We created a lot of chances recently and didn't use an awful lot of them. But in the end it's all about performing. It's the fourth game in 10 days and whatever the body is doing, how you lose focus, you're not as precise anymore, you just have to get through it. We got through it and now we have five days until the next game and it feels like we should go on holiday. The boys have two days off. I told them before the game if we win we have two days off - I saw my two days off slipping through my fingers!"
On the performance, in his post-match press conference: "You never know what to expect from the fourth game in 10 days. It was really intense, whatever the outside world thinks. Coming here and playing the game we played is exceptional. It's exceptional as well that we didn't score more goals - actually we did but for different reasons they took it away.
"For a long time we caused Burnley so many problems, we played a super game. In the last game in a really busy period you can't expect that but we did. I really liked the game we played - but we should score more, that's clear.
"Burnley had massive chances to score the second goal, even the first. But in the end we deserved to win that game and it was two perfect goal scorers. We sneaked [Jota] onto the squad list because he had trained only twice but we said he can have that [extra session] in Burnley, and he can train tomorrow properly and he will be ready for Newcastle. 2-0. No injuries. All good."
Vincent Kompany in his post-match press conference: "We played against a top side. I don't think the scenario of the game was too bad in terms of being in the game and then having a late push to get a result. We had our moments. We can't prevent them from having moments because they're a top side.
"The team fights, the team is alive, it's entertaining but it lacks the final touch at the moment to reward ourselves but I see these guys work every day and I have no doubt they will make that step.
•Under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool have won all six of their Premier League games on Boxing Day, the outright most by a manager with a 100% win rate on this day in the competition's history.
•Burnley are the first side in English top-flight history to lose as many as nine of their opening 10 home matches of a season.
