Published on: 11 July 2020

Liverpool slipped to a 1-1 draw against Burnley at Anfield on Saturday, a result which ended their 100% home record for the season.

Andy Robertson scored the opening goal in the first half before James Rodriguez equalised after the break.

Jurgen Klopp's side will overhaul Manchester City's record of 100 points if they win their remaining three league matches.

The hosts dominated the game in the early stages and Robertson headed Liverpool ahead after 34 minutes.

Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope provided a number of great saves to deny Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.

Pope's saves kept Burnley in the game while Roberto Firmino hit the post just after the break.

Burnley made it 1-1 when Rodriguez reacted quickly to James Tarkowski's header to fire home from inside the box.

Johann Gudmundsson almost earned the visitors all three points at the end but hit the bar from close range.
