(Reuters) - Burnley striker Ashley Barnes said he had expected to net his 100th senior goal earlier in his career but the 31-year-old was delighted the special moment came in Thursday's 1-0 victory over Premier League champions Liverpool.

Barnes scored from the penalty spot in the 83rd minute after being brought down by goalkeeper Alisson Becker as Burnley ended Liverpool's 68-game unbeaten home record in the English top-flight.
