Marcus Edwards scored a second-half equaliser as Liverpool were held to a frustrating Premier League draw by struggling Burnley at Anfield.
Florian Wirtz gave Arne Slot’s side the lead in the first half with an emphatic strike, 10 minutes after Dominik Szoboszlai had hit the bar from the penalty spot.
Liverpool dominated possession throughout but failed to take their chances, with the hosts having 32 shots and Burnley keeper Martin Dubravka making eight saves.
And Edwards punished the home side with a superb finish past Alisson in the 65th minute after he was played through by Florentino Luis.
Liverpool pushed hard for a late winner but could not find a second goal and this will go down as two points dropped against a side who are 19th in the table.
Saturday’s result extended the Reds’ unbeaten run to 12 games in all competitions, although this was a fourth straight league draw.
A point takes Liverpool one clear of Manchester United in fourth, but Slot’s side missed the chance to cut the gap to second-placed Manchester City and Aston Villa in third to five points.
Burnley remain winless in their past 13 league games but this draw would have felt like a win. The Clarets are still deep in the relegation zone but a point at Anfield could do wonders for their confidence.
