Fabinho keeps up his Liverpool scoring streak to keep Burnley bottom

By Aman Shukla

Liverpool kept the pressure on Premier League leaders Manchester City as Fabinho grabbed a 1-0 victory over Burnley, while Tottenham’s top-four bid suffered a fresh blow in a 2-0 loss to Wolves on Sunday. Fabinho struck late in the first half at windswept Turf Moor to give Liverpool their fourth successive league win.

Klopp was able to welcome back Sadio Mane for his first appearance since assisting Senegal with winning the African Cup of Nations.

Liverpool are nine points behind City with one game in hand as the Reds refuse to let the title race become a prolonged coronation for Pep Guardiola’s men. City made it 14 wins from last 15 league matches on Saturday as Raheem Sterling’s hat-trick inspired a 4-0 win at lowly Norwich.

“It is nine points and then it is 12 points because most of the time City play before us. These are really difficult games. That is why we don’t think about the title race,” Reds boss Jurgen Klopp said.
