CLOSE!
Liverpool 2-1 Burnley

Andy Robinson picks out Darwin Nunez and he's denied from close range.

Burnley go up the other end, David Fofana is blocked by Caoimhín Kelleher and Wilson Odobert scuffs the rebound.

What a chance for Burnley! Some big saves from Kelleher.

It's right in the top corner and Kelleher was never getting there. Burnley are level at Anfield!
