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 the lead and ended up drawing 1-1 against Burnley at Anfield, in a match that seemed under control but slipped away from them. The Reds took the lead at 42 minutes into the first half, when Florian Wirtz finished a good team play and scored inside the box to open the scoring.

Despite dominating and creating chances, the home team couldn't extend the lead and left the match open. In the second half, Burnley took advantage of a defensive lapse and equalized at 65 minutes, with a cross-shot by Marcus Edwards that silenced the stadium and changed the course of the game.

With the 1-1 score, Liverpool pushed forward more with determination than clarity in search of victory, but failed again in the final meters. They even missed a penalty, another sign of the lack of decisiveness affecting 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 Arne Slot's project under scrutiny, with his future already surrounded by rumors. Meanwhile, Burnley remains in the second-to-last position, but the draw at Anfield was a crucial morale boost in their fight for survival.
