Liverpool's season is firmly back on track after a Yossi Benayoun
hat-trick helped them to a comprehensive 4-0 victory over Burnley.
The top-flight new boys had started the season so well with wins
over Manchester United and Everton but have now suffered successive
defeats at Chelsea and now Liverpool - conceding seven in the process.
They could not live with a vibrant Liverpool, who kept up an impressive
high tempo throughout and are slowly wiping away the memory of those
two early league defeats to Tottenham and Aston Villa.
Benayoun scored his first from the edge of the box, and saw his
shot parried by the overworked Brian Jensen for Dirk Kuyt to add
the second before the break.
Steven Gerrard's pass set up Benayoun for his second, a close-range
tap-in, before the Israeli was sent clear by substitute Andriy Voronin
for his third and Liverpool's fourth.
