Liverpool

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp to BBC MOTD: "I felt we played a really good game with a few strange moments in the last bit. Finishing for whatever reason was not as good as the rest. I liked the way we played but it's the fourth game in 10 days. Can I expect a really top, top level? We have to get through this. Burnley had their moments, could have scored the equaliser but for us it's very important we win the game and nobody gets injured.

"For Darwin [Nunez] it's clear - strikers need goals. It was never in doubt from our side. Darwin is playing an incredibly important part for us. It's not only about scoring as long as you win but it was important for him and gave him a lift. Diogo Jota only trained twice with the team and the doctor came in and said 'he is on the list'. We need him in the moment and today it was 12 minutes or so which was enough to score a decisive goal.

"The first goal that was ruled out I haven't seen it but for the second goal to be ruled out, it's just not okay, is what I can say. James Trafford has no chance to get on the ball. It was the perfect goal and Mohamed Salah gets pushed into an offside position.

"There are a lot of moments where the refs look at different things. I don't know why that's the case because we all played the same game. We all have the same interests. Why would you decide something where the whole rest of the world would say it's like this? It's not that complicated I would say. But today it's not decisive. There are other moments when it is.

"I can barely bring my arms down to be honest. I told the boys before the game that if they win this game they have two days off. Now we go home to our families, recover and start again."

'In pain'. Yep, it's been that kind of performance from the hosts.

Burnley

Burnley manager Vincent Kompany to Amazon Prime on his post-match chat with Jurgen Klopp: "It's Christmas time, we were sharing some stories. It's the first time we've seen each other since I was a player and it's always great to see great people in the game.

"Look, it's been the story of our season so far. But we need to keep the energy up. If players are missing chances in training you know you are in trouble but they are missing them in games not training. That gives me belief. I don't believe they will keep missing those chances. But we are also learning this league and this level - everything matters.

"We were a little bit too open in the first half. I thought we were still dangerous in transition and didn't manage to make the right decision. Liverpool were quite open at times. They managed to score the goals but we didn't. We had a chance towards the end to have a push and if it goes in then it's 1-1 but the game opens up and Liverpool are so good in those moments."

On potential transfer business: "The injury situation is something we always need to assess. I think the best way to improve for us is to back the players we have and give them belief. I will try to nick some of Jurgen's players off the bench!"

On Liverpool's second disallowed goal: "It's a bigger picture discussion for me. In the overall package we've had these moments against us. I understand Jurgen's opinion and position. But from my perspective, the amount of times we have sat here and said it's cost us points...They got the win."

On results recently and any pressure on him: "I stood here four or five months ago with everyone asking if I was going to stay at Burnley and I signed a long-term deal. There's something special about Burnley. It's a very calm club. We still look forward. I'm excited to work with the team I have and we're prepared to keep moving this team forward. It's a very lancashire thing. People are very calm here."

More boos at the break. A horror half from Manchester United.

Aston Villa were class.

And then Andre Onana passes the ball straight out of play. More groans from the home fans...

Bruno Fernandes is offside as the wide free-kick is launched into the box.

First yellow card of the game as Jacob Ramsey goes in the book for pulling Rasmus Hojlund to the floor.

Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho puts on the afterburners before blasting a ball against the side-netting. He's soon flagged for offside though.

Four minutes added on. It is all Man Utd, but Aston Villa are very comfortable, they're doing all they need to do.

Marcus Rashford reminds us that, on his day, he is a proper baller.

The forward creates a chance out of nothing, driving forward about 20 yards and makes some space, but fires into the side-netting.

Ezri Konsa can't deal with the speed of his footwork.

Still Manchester United push, and still they're let down by the final ball as Alejandro Garnacho overhits a pass for Marcus Rashford.

Aston Villa have a rare counter-attack but United get players back to deal with the danger.

Less than five minutes until half-time. This match has been incredibly entertaining.

Better movement and intent from Manchester United.

A lovely touch from Rashford to take it out of the sky, a good run from Hojlund into the box but good goalkeeping from Martinez to take control of the situation and claim the ball.

Aston Villa have hardly touched the ball. This is Manchester United's best period as Marcus Rashford starts off an attack but Diogo Dalot's cross on the overlap is straight at the keeper.

You guys reckon David de Gea's watching this?
