The Reds disappointed once again at home; they were winning, but the visitors reacted in the second half and left the score at 1-1.

Liverpool couldn't maintain their lead and ended up drawing 1-1 against Burnley at Anfield, in a match that seemed under control but slipped away. The Reds took the lead at 42 minutes of the first half when Florian Wirtz finished a good team play and scored inside the box to open the scoring.

Despite their dominance and the chances created, the home team failed to extend their lead and left the game open. In the second half, Burnley took advantage of a defensive lapse and equalized at 65 minutes with a cross-shot from Marcus Edwards that silenced the stadium and changed the course of the match.

With the 1-1 scoreline, Liverpool pushed forward more with determination than clarity in search of victory, but once again faltered in the final third. They even missed a penalty, further evidence of the lack of decisiveness that plagues the team at this stage of the championship.

This result left Liverpool with 36 points, in fourth position, but increasingly distant from the direct title race. The streak of four matches without victories has started to put the spotlight on Arne Slot's project, whose future is now surrounded by rumors. Meanwhile, Burnley remains in the second-to-last position, but the draw at Anfield was a key morale boost in their fight for survival.
