Liverpool faced Burnley in the Premier League on Boxing Day and celebrated a 2-0 win.

Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota scored the two goals of the game as the Reds took the three points home.

With the win, Jurgen Klopp side are currently leading the league table with 2 points ahead of Arsenal, who face West Ham on December 28.

Following the game, Klopp was quizzed on his side topping the league table.

“So, 42 points, that’s really pleasing, to be honest,” said Klopp.

“That’s really cool because the first part of the season [is] done and it was absolutely alright what we did. Not perfect but it was alright. And if I’m right, we cannot be more than a point away from the top of the table, if Arsenal win.

“That’s obviously in punching distance, let me say it like that.”
