Liverpool dropped two points at home as Burnley held them to a 1-1 draw on Saturday afternoon.

Sean Dyche's well-drilled side took the lead through Scott Arfield with their first shot on target. Hesitation by centre-backs Joel Matip and Ragnar Klavan allowed the ball to drop between them in the middle of the penalty area.

Mohamed Salah's fifth goal of the season, and his fourth in succession at Anfield, quickly restored parity. But what followed was more a failure of Jurgen Klopp's attack to break down Burnley's determined defence as they finished with 35 shots but just nine on target.

Reds boss Klopp remarked afterwards: "That's why I'm still not in the perfect mood, I would say. It feels strange, it feels wrong, but it's a fact – we drew. A lot of parts of the game I was really happy with.

"We made seven changes but it was still really fluent, it looked like proper football – offensive football, dominant football, possession football how it should be. We created moments. You cannot create in each situation a finishing situation, but we did it absolutely often enough. It could have been more often, of course, because with one better decision here or there then we would have had a few more.

"But it was the best game against Burnley since I'm here, obviously not result-wise but performance-wise for sure."
