Burnley took the courage to shatter a long run of an adorable home lossless streak. Ashley Barnes penalty for The Clarets gave them the 1-0 away victory over title defenders. Anfield has been defiled by The Clarets. This is a day we've all been waiting for. What Manchester United, Manchester city, Chelsea, Tottenham and the rest could not do. Burnley took the responsibility to make and mar history... What a night, what a game, what a way to end a streak.
Liverpool have gone 68 games unbeaten run at Anfield in the premier league. The record was stretched back to April 2017....Wow!!! Damn, it's been 1370 days since they saw a home defeat.
DWWWDDWWDDDWWWDWWWWDWWWWDWWWWWWWDWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWDWWWWWWWWDDL
(Jose Mourinho still maintains his home record for 86 runs without a loss with Chelsea).
Away managers to win in PL at Anfield since Jurgen Klopp was appointed Liverpool manager: Alan Pardew (Crystal Palace, Nov 2015) Louis Van Gaal (Man Utd, Jan 2016) Paul Clement (Swansea, Jan 2017) Sam Allardyce (Crystal Palace, Apr 2017) Sean Dyche (Burnley, Jan 2021)
Looking at the way things are piling up for the reds, they might fail to challenge for the title this season if they continue like this. They've gone four straight league games without scoring a single goal. The last time such happened was back in April-May, 2000. First time a Jürgen Klopp-led team also failed to score in 4 straight league matches since Mainz in Nov-Dec 2006. Burnley really caused a general kinda massacre here.
What could be the reason for such grand disappointment from Liverpool? Many say they suffer from injury. Moreover, after two straight seasons of the best injury luck in the sport, this forced narrative by bitter Scousers and the media is painfully ironic. Nine out of Liverpool's best XI played tonight.
Something to ponder on: January is almost over and there is no goal of the month in Liverpool yet. They should try an own goal at least to avoid the shame😂
