Liverpool vs. Burnley result: Late penalty dooms Reds | News Global
Despite one-way traffic for most of the match, Liverpool dropped a 1-0 result to visiting Burnley on Thursday.
An 83rd-minute penalty kick by Ashley Barnes sealed the game for the visiting side, which defended doggedly throughout the contest while awaiting an opportunity.
Goalkeeper Nick Pope had six saves to keep the Reds at bay despite overwhelming possession, shooting and passing advantages for the hosts, as Burnley increasingly frustrated Liverpool by bending but not breaking throughout.
A breakaway miss in the dying minutes of the opening half by Divock Origi summed up the match for Liverpool, which extended its league goalless streak to over four games.
The result denies fourth-place Liverpool a chance to make up ground on the three teams ahead of it in the title race, while Burnley picks up a valuable three points as it looks to stay out of the relegation zone.
