Arne Slot's Liverpool have now won their four Premier League games with late goals
Liverpool's flawless start to the defence of their Premier League crown is now being aided by an aura from another age.
What was once "Fergie Time" is now "Arne Time".
It was a phrase used to describe the uncanny habit Sir Alex Ferguson's all-conquering Manchester United side had of breaking opponents' hearts with late, late shows.
The sight of teams slumped on the turf and opposing managers stunned while Ferguson and his players cavorted on the sidelines became a constant narrative as a great team achieved great successes.
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery – and now we have Arne Slot's Liverpool repeating the old Ferguson punishment as they relentlessly pursue victories and trophies.
Liverpool's latest journey into "Arne Time" came at Turf Moor on Sunday after Scott Parker's Burnley resisted magnificently to move within seconds of becoming the first team to take points from the champions this season.
