Liverpool 1-1 Burnley: Report, result, goals as Edwards earns Premier League strugglers draw after Wirtz opens scoring Szoboszlai spurns spot kick

Marcus Edwards’ 65th-minute equaliser ensured Liverpool remain without a Premier League win in 2026 and gave second-bottom Burnley a point at Anfield.

Winger Edwards, who missed a presentable chance to equalise shortly after the restart, struck from Florentino Luis’ pass as the Reds drew a fourth successive top-flight match since the start of the calendar year and remained fifth.

Wirtz smashed the hosts in front from inside the box in the 42nd minute, atoning for Dominik Szoboszlai’s penalty against the crossbar 13 minutes earlier after the midfielder was brought down by Florentino.
