Liverpool moved above Leicester City into fourth place in the Premier League on goal difference after winning 3-0 away to Burnley on Wednesday night.

The win, coupled with Leicester's 2-1 defeat to Chelsea 24 hours earlier, puts Liverpool in the driving seat to seal a place in next season's Champions League with just one game left to play.

Roberto Firmino opened the scoring in the 43rd minute after getting on the end of Andy Robertson's cross and Nat Phillips doubled the lead seven minutes into the second half after the home side failed to clear a corner.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain made it 3-0 in the 88th minute after being played in by Robertson and scoring with a low shot.
