[이데일리 스타in 임정우 기자] Liverpool, England’s professional football Premier League (EPL)’defending champion’, got caught up in Burnley.
Liverpool lost 0-1 in their 2020-2021 EPL home game against Burnley at Anfield, Liverpool, England on the 22nd (Korean time). Liverpool lost that day, halting their undefeated march for 68 consecutive home games. Liverpool have only lost 69 games since their defeat against Crystal Palace in 2017.
Liverpool, which had been unbeaten for nearly three years, couldn’t show a sharp look on this day. He fired 27 shots, but it ended up in vain. In the 38th minute of the second half, Burnley gave the winning goal and suffered a 0-1 defeat.
Liverpool lost for the first time since May 2000, scoring four consecutive games. Liverpool have scored 87 team shots so far since Sadio Manet scored against West Brom on the 25th, but have never scored a goal. Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp, who likes hot offense football, has scored four consecutive games for the first time since December 2006, when he led Mainz (Germany).
Liverpool came in fourth with 34 points. The gap with the number one Manchester United is 6 points. Burnley, who won an away game against the Premier League defending champion for the second time in the team’s history, climbed to 16th place (19 points).
In crisis, coach Klopp blamed everything on himself. After the game, he said, “The reason we can’t score a goal is because the players are making an instantaneous wrong judgment.” I lost a game that shouldn’t be lost. It’s my fault.”
