Twitter explodes as Liverpool come from behind to beat Burnley 2-1

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool made a comeback to record a vital 2-1 win over Burnley to maintain the pressure on Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur – who sit in third and second position, respectively, in the league table.

Ashley Barnes opened the scoring for the away side in the 7^th minute before Georginio Wijnaldum equalized with the last kick of the first half. Emre Can then scored the winner in the 61^st minute with a neat finish from outside of the box to help the Reds record a win against a team placed in the bottom half of the table.

Following the ominous start – by which I mean the early goal – it looked like the Anfield side were staring at another defeat against a team placed 12^th or below after their convincing 3-1 win over Arsenal last week.

Twitter was on fire as they trolled the Robin Hood club but the Liverpool fans had the last laugh as they got all the three points. Here are the best tweets:

Record-breaker, history-maker Klopp

1 - Liverpool have conceded inside the first 10 minutes of a PL game at Anfield for the first time since August 2015 (v West Ham). Cold.

Sad Man, indeed!

Here goes.

What happens to Liverpool's Senegalese star when you only let him keep one of the vowels in his name?

He becomes a Sad Man.

I heard Barcelona are not that good at comebacks?

Liverpool would genuinely rather play Barcelona every week than Accrington Stanley.

Whatever happens, Yellow Card for Granit Xhaka!

Emre Can fouls a Burnley player. Yellow card for Granit Xhaka.

We can do similar predictions until the end of the season and Liverpool won’t let us down!

Feb 3rd: “Knowing Liverpool, they’ll beat Tottenham and Arsenal and lose to the rest, ha!”

Really poor performance so far from Liverpool. Thankfully they can look to get back on-track away to Manchester City next week.

This really is like watching Klopp's Borussia Dortmund sometimes. Sean Dyche doesn't get the credit he deserves.

16 – All 16 of Georginio Wijnaldum’s Premier League goals have been scored in home matches (five for Liverpool, 11 for Newcastle). Comforts.

Liverpool fans may be feeling that the team needs a sub or two to put some spark into this performance.

They have done it....

Full-time. Liverpool manage to overcome Burnley and their own ineptitude to win 2-1. Great showing from the Clarets though. pic.twitter.com/nA1Sic5TLB

Ben Woodburn is still only 17. Playing in the Premier League at 17. When I was 17, I was searching for pages from dirty magazines in hedges.

21 – Since Jurgen Klopp’s first game in charge, Liverpool have scored more PL goals from outside the box than any other team (21). Arrow.

14 - Liverpool have won 14 points from losing positions in the Premier League this term; a joint-high with Tottenham. Recovery.
