Premier League Results: 2017 EPL Week 28 Scores, Table and Top Sunday Scorers
Liverpool came back from a goal down Sunday to defeat Burnley 2-1 at Anfield, where Georginio Wijnaldum and Emre Can scored to spare the Reds' blushes in front of a home crowd.
Ashley Barnes powered manager Sean Dyche's side into an early lead on Merseyside, but Liverpool netted either side of half-time to keep their place in fourth and move five points ahead of fifth-placed Arsenal.
Manager Jurgen Klopp's men were far from at their best in Sunday's sole Premier League fixture but will be glad at having claimed maximum points despite playing beneath their potential.

Recap
Dyche's side had every right to travel to Anfield brimming with hope for what could be considering it wasn't long ago the Reds suffered three successive home defeats to Southampton, Swansea and Wolverhampton.
And after building momentum steadily in the opposition half, Burnely capitalised when the ball found its way through to Barnes at the back post early on. The former Brighton hitman was ruthless in finishing his chance, via Sky Football:
"What a start for Burnley, they lead at Anfield after this goal! Sky Sports 1 HD now for the action. https://t.co/rOfORcod1F

A lack of initiative has been one of Liverpool's issues in certain outings of late, and the Merseysiders laboured in finding their equaliser against a stiff Clarets defence, eventually stealing their leveller just before the break.
Summer signing Wijnaldum is slowly improving his goal threat as a Liverpool player and persevered to poke home from close range with just 15 seconds left in first-half injury-time.
A ricochet off a Burnley defender gave the Dutchman a second bite of the cherry, and he thumped past goalkeeper Tom Heaton to break Liverpool's deadlock and maintain a prolific trend of Anfield scoring, per Match of the Day:
It was a perfectly timed leveller in the eyes of Reds chief Klopp, and Liverpool came out in the second period looking far hungrier for the three points just a week after they defeated Arsenal 3-1.
Can then arose in the 61st minute with a strike unbecoming of a midfield destroyer fitting his description, beating Heaton with a pinpoint strike into the bottom right, and Liverpool writer Jim Boardman was full of praise for the German:
Dyche threw on winter signing Robbie Brady and striker Sam Vokes in an attempt to apply some late pressure in pursuit of an equaliser, but Liverpool's back four were up to the challenge.
Sadio Mane also had a pair of chances in the dying minutes to provide Liverpool a much-needed two-goal cushion. However, Burnley's Matt Lowton missed perhaps the greatest opportunity with seconds remaining and hit his close-range effort feet over the bar as Burnley came away from Anfield with nothing.
