Liverpool climbed to the top of the Premier League as Darwin Nunez ended his goal drought to inspire a 2-0 win over Burnley, while Rasmus Hojlund broke his own barren run to cap Manchester United’s thrilling fightback to beat Aston Villa 3-2 on Tuesday.
Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool took an early lead through Nunez at Turf Moor and held on despite wasting a host of chances. Nunez’s eighth goal this season was his first for 12 games since he netted against Bournemouth in the League Cup on November 1. Diogo Jota, back from a month’s injury absence, wrapped up the victory late on to leave Liverpool two points above second placed Arsenal, who have a game in hand. Arsenal can regain top spot with a victory at home to West Ham on Thursday.
