Liverpool has started the title defense campaign in the English Premier League this time in a smooth way. It definitely reminded me of some similar occasions in the past.
Once upon a time there was a 'Fergie time' in English football. Now it's the turn of 'arne time'. When Sir Alex Ferguson was the coach, Manchester United could often beat their opponents by scoring late in the game. It was a very heartbreaking defeat for the opposing team. It was a habit of United.
After suffering such defeats against United, the opposing players would collapse in pain on the field. Ferguson and his players were celebrating. A comment was made on this, that this is how a successful and great team wins. This is how these big teams become champions. Because of Ferguson's influence, it was defined as 'Fergie Time'.
Now Liverpool is starting to show a similar trend. With the help of a similar victory under the leadership of coach Arne Slott, Liverpool has shown that they are ready to win the title. Liverpool beat Burnley at Turf Moor on Sunday. Scott Parker's team were literally seconds away from a goalless draw. It was expected that Burnley would be the first team to take points away from the defending champions this season.
But in this case, Burnley's tired legs and tired mind lost one of the most influential players to a red card. The team was limited to 10 players. The game lost Lelsi Ugochukwu in the 84th minute. 5 minutes of injury time were added in the second half. It was going on in the last few seconds of the game. At the same time, the substitute player Hannibal touched the ball in an unnecessary manner in Jeremy Frimpong's strike.
The result was a penalty decision in favor of Liverpool. Mohamed Salah easily converted it into a goal. This was the story of Liverpool once again winning with a last-minute goal. And that was it, 'arne time'. Liverpool have won four league games in a row. In this way, they became the first team to win four matches in a row in the Premier League.
Coincidentally, the victory of these four games at the beginning was possible with a last-minute goal. Liverpool were two goals ahead in the first leg, losing 4-2 to Bournemouth, but then it was tied 2-2. Liverpool then took the lead at Anfield in the 88th minute and scored the fourth goal in the fourth minute of injury time.
Rio Nomoha, a teenage player, scored a decisive goal against Newcastle United in hundreds of minutes. Dominic Saboslai's free-kick goal against Arsenal was completed only seven minutes before the end of the match. Now Salah wrote a similar story against Burnley. For Liverpool, this has now come forward as a sensational and equally happy trend.
The biggest feature of these four games is that the decisive goal was scored in the last 10 minutes of all the games. At the same time, Liverpool has also made a new record of its own. Has scored in 38 matches of the upper division in a row. There was fear against Burnley, maybe Liverpool would miss a goal? Next week, Liverpool will attempt to equal their record streak of 39 consecutive goals when they face Everton at Anfield.
Tottenham has a record of scoring consecutive goals in 39 games. The all-time record is held by Arsenal, the team once scored in 55 consecutive games. Arne Slott said in an interview in January, "We have to get used to the art of scoring goals at the end of the game." Needless to say, this is what is happening now. "We needed a bit of luck and a bit of magic to score against Burnley," said Slott.
