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.

Even a virtuoso performance from Florian Wirtz, who put Liverpool ahead after Dominik Szoboszlai missed a penalty, could not dig them out of the hole they created for themselves after allowing Marcus Edwards to equalise with the visitors’ only shot on target in the 65th minute.
