The Reds took the lead in the first half thanks to a Diogo Jota header from a Trent Alexander-Arnold corner at Anfield. Burnley responded just before the interval with a header from Dara O'Shea.
Liverpool regained the lead with a Luis Diaz goal, which was eventually given after a lengthy VAR check. Darwin Nunez then added a third for the Reds in front of the Kop which made sure all three points would be heading to Merseyside.
Jurgen Klopp's side are now top of the Premier League table with the win. Man City leapfrogged Liverpool at the top of the table before the Reds kicked off with their victory against Everton at the Etihad Stadium, with Liverpool now reclaiming their two-point lead at the top.
