Welcome to the Clarets Fan blog page. Nick Pope was in outstanding form for Burnley in their 1-0 win at Liverpool and Reds fans have hailed the Clarets goalkeeper’s performance. Pope made six saves as the Clarets prevailed late on at Anfield thanks to an Ashley Barnes penalty and, in doing so, became the first team to win in the Premier League at Anfield since Crystal Palace in April 2017.
It ended a 68-game unbeaten run for Jurgen Klopp’s side and Pope played a key role in ensuring his side secured a deserved win, with the defence in front of him also once again holding firm. His best save was to deny Reds substitute Mohamed Salah, who came on as a second-half substitute and tried to deceive Pope by showing to shoot in the far corner, only to whip it towards the near post but the Burnley No.1 made a stunning reflex stop.
He was commanding from set pieces and assured with his handling too and his performance left Liverpool fans making comparisons to Juventus and Italy goalkeeping great Gianluigi Buffon. Pope excelled in his side’s 1-1 draw in the corresponding fixture from last season and maintained his own personal good form at Anfield with another impressive showing.
