Asked after Mo Salah ended a pretty dismal performance by scoring a late winning penalty at Burnley last autumn whether he would ever consider taking his star player off‚ Liverpool manager Arne Slot did his best not to answer the question. And then admitted that it was desperately hard to do so. 'He may always give you something like he did today‚' said Slot. Well here we are‚ several months and one big argument later‚ and things have changed. Amid all the talk about Liverpool's two late goals at Nottingham Forest - only one of them stood - what was lost by many was that it was Slot's decision to remove Salah with thirteen minutes left that helped to win his team the game.

Burnley‚ Chelsea condemn racist abuse of players

IAN HERBERT AT STAMFORD BRIDGE: The front of Chelsea's shirts displayed the nondescript logo of the AI firm they've found as a temporary sponsor and so much of this place still seems to exude impermanence and uncertainty. Liam Rosenior seemed to be sharing a dug-out seat with his assistant‚ Justin Walker‚ who stood up to vacate it each time the manager wanted to take the weight off his feet. Burnley's late equaliser - striker Zian Flemming unmarked as he ran to meet James Ward Prowse's corner - saw half-hearted boos greet the final whistle and it could have been even worse. Burnley's Jacob Brunn Larsen sent a header over the bar from a second Ward Prowse corner‚ moments after the first. The late heist was precisely what Scott Parker's side had planned for and‚ given Chelsea's vast dominance having taken such an early lead‚ succumbing to it was criminal.
