Liverpool's 2025-26 Premier League campaign has been nothing short of dramatic, marked by late goals and a relentless winning mentality. The latest chapter in this thrilling start saw them secure a 1-0 victory against Burnley at Turf Moor, thanks to a 95th-minute penalty from Mohamed Salah. This win extends their perfect start to the season, making it four wins from four.

The match against Burnley was a hard-fought contest, with a stubborn Burnley defense proving difficult to break down. Even after Lesley Ugochukwu's dismissal in the 84th minute, Burnley looked set to hold on for a point. However, in the dying moments of the game, Hannibal Mejbri's handball gave Liverpool the opportunity they needed. Salah coolly converted the penalty, securing all three points for the Reds.

This marks the third time Liverpool have started a Premier League season with four consecutive wins. All four of Liverpool's victories this season have been secured with late drama, showcasing the team's unwavering determination. Salah emphasized this "never-say-die" attitude, stating, "We don't give up. We just try to push ourselves and our team to the limit".

The victory also saw Salah surpass Andrew Cole to become the outright fourth-highest Premier League goalscorer with 188 goals. Despite his impressive goal tally, this was his first winning goal scored in the 90th minute or later. Liverpool also made Premier League history, becoming the first team to win four straight games with the decisive goal coming in the final 10 minutes or later.

Manager Arne Slot, who left British record signing Alexander Isak out of the matchday squad, acknowledged the team's adaptation to the new system, with several new players in the starting lineup. He also added that Isak would be involved in the Champions League match against Atletico Madrid.

Liverpool continued their winning form in the Champions League, securing a 3-2 victory over Atletico Madrid. Virgil van Dijk's stoppage-time winner ensured another late victory for the Reds, making it five late wins from five games this season. The game saw Liverpool initially take a 2-0 lead with goals from Andy Robertson and Mohamed Salah, but Atletico Madrid fought back to level the score. However, Van Dijk's late header sealed the win for Liverpool.

While the team's ability to consistently snatch victories in the final moments is a testament to their resilience and fighting spirit, questions remain about whether this pattern can continue throughout the entire season. Relying on late goals every game is a risky strategy, and Liverpool may need to find more comfortable ways to secure wins if they want to maintain their position at the top of the Premier League and compete for major honors.
