Liverpool’s inability to manage games cost them dearly again as they dropped points in a one-sided 1-1 draw at home to struggling Burnley, who have not won in 13 Premier League matches. Nevertheless, 73 per cent possession and 32 shots, only 11 of which were on target, produced a solitary goal. But less than two minutes later Alisson could not keep out Edwards’ shot across him after Konate failed to close down the attacker on the left of the penalty area. Even then it took 42 minutes to make the breakthrough with Wirtz and summer signing Hugo Ekitike playing pivotal roles. They regained fourth place from United but their position in the race for a Champions League place is far from secure.
