Liverpool kept the pressure on Premier League leaders Manchester City as Fabinho sealed a 1-0 win over Burnley, while Tottenham Hotspur’s top four bid suffered a fresh blow in a 2-0 loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers Sunday.
Fabinho struck late in the first half at windswept Turf Moor to give Liverpool their fourth successive league victory.
Liverpool are nine points behind City with one game in hand as the Reds refuse to let the title race become a prolonged coronation for Pep Guardiola’s men.
After a shaky start, during which Burnley threatened a shock opener, Fabinho restored order five minutes before half-time.
The Brazilian poked home a fifth goal in his last seven games after Mane headed on Trent Alexander-Arnold’s corner.
In north London, Tottenham lost a second successive home game as Wolves followed Southampton’s victory Wednesday.
Antonio Conte’s side, loudly booed off at full-time, dropped to eighth place, five points adrift of the Champions League places.
Raul Jimenez gave Wolves the perfect start in the sixth minute, the Mexican volleying home after Tottenham keeper Hugo Lloris weakly spilled Leander Dendoncker’s effort.
In the 18th minute, Lloris was involved again with a woeful pass to Ben Davies, prompting the startled defender to gift possession to Wolves.
Daniel Podence’s shot was deflected onto the post by Davinson Sanchez and Dendoncker bundled in from close-range.
Wolves, who climbed one point above Tottenham into seventh, have won four successive top-flight away games for the first time since 1980.
Shamed West Ham United defender Kurt Zouma withdrew from his side’s 2-2 draw against Leicester City just minutes before kick-off as David Moyes’ men snatched a controversial last-gasp equalizer at the King Power Stadium.
Zouma was fined two weeks’ wages by West Ham after a video emerged showing the French defender kicking and slapping his cat.
Despite criticism of his stance, Hammers boss David Moyes had selected Zouma for a second successive game since the incident, only for the 27-year old to pull out when he felt sick during the warm-up.
Fourth placed West Ham took the lead through Jarrod Bowen’s clinical finish in the 10th minute.
