After 1,369 days without defeat, Liverpool have finally lost an English Premier League match at Anfield.
The English champions lost to Burnley on Thursday night 0-1 at home.
Many had expected Liverpool to secure victory or at worst a draw at a stadium that had become an impenetrable fortress for Liverpool.
The last time Liverpool lost at home was in April 2017 to Crystal Palace.
Ashley Barnes scored the only goal of the game through a penalty.
This was Liverpool’s first defeat in 68 Premier League matches at Anfield (W55 D13) since April 2017, three years and 273 days ago
It was the second-longest unbeaten home run in English top-flight history, after Chelsea’s 86 games ending in October 2008.
Sadio Mané created nine chances for Liverpool against Burnley, the most any Reds player has created in a single Premier League game across the five seasons.
