Burnley won 1-0 at Anfield and

ended Liverpool's 68-game unbeaten streak

at their stadium this Thursday in a match on the 18th Premier League.

This defeat, which came after a penalty committed by the Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson and which transformed Ashley Barnes in the final leg of the match (seven from the end), leaves the Reds in fourth position, 6 points behind leader Manchester United.

Manchester City and Leicester, second and third with 38 points, are also ahead of Liverpool, which has only 34 points.

But the worst thing for the 'Reds' is that this defeat only reveals that the team of Jürgen Klopp, current English champion, is in crisis of results and they have already been five days without winning (two defeats and three draws).

And they are already four consecutive games without scoring.

No other English football team went through a dry spell like this this season.

"There is always the possibility of losing a game and that is what has happened. It is my fault,"

the German Liverpool manager admitted to the Sky Sports channel after the game.

"My job is to make the boys have a good

feeling

, the dose of confidence that is needed, that they make the good decisions, that kind of thing, and clearly it has not been the case tonight," he added.

Next Sunday Liverpool will visit Old Trafford, although the match against Manchester United corresponds to the fourth round of the FA Cup. The next Premier match will be against José Mourinho's Tottenham.

The last Premier League team to take Anfield's three points was Crystal Palace (2-1) on April 23, 2017.

From that moment, and until this Thursday, Liverpool chained 55 wins and 13 draws, a streak, however, that is far from the record in English football, which Chelsea has with 86 games.
