Burnley produced one of the most shocking results of the season to end Liverpool’s streak of 68 games unbeaten at Anfield.

Ashley Barnes’ 82nd-minute penalty proved to be the only goal of the game as the Clarets kept the Reds at bay.

They are now up into 15th and seven points clear of the bottom three.

Once again, Sean Dyche’s side were able to show off their defensive strengths by keeping a clean sheet at the home of the champions.

Although scoring goals still remains an issue for Burnley, who have netted the joint lowest number of goals all season with just ten.
