Liverpool were forced to share the spoils for a fourth straight Premier League game as relegation-threatened Burnley fought back for a 1-1 draw at Anfield.

Marcus Edwards arrowed in a 65th-minute equaliser for Scott Parker's 19th-placed side on Saturday, as Liverpool failed to make their dominance count.

Edwards' finish came from Burnley's only shot on target as Arne Slot's side were made to pay for not translating their control into further goals following Florian Wirtz's fine first-half opener.

Dominik Szoboszlai had earlier thundered a penalty, awarded for Florentino's foul on Cody Gakpo, against the crossbar before Wirtz broke the deadlock by angling into the top-left corner.

Gakpo then had an effort heroically cleared off the line by Bashir Humphreys, but after Burnley equalised, Liverpool rarely looked like finding the crucial third goal of the match. 

Hugo Ekitike thought he had won it with just under 15 minutes remaining, only to see his close-range strike from a Virgil van Dijk headed knockdown ruled out for offside.

Data Debrief: Point problems for Liverpool

Liverpool have drawn six of their last nine Premier League games (W3), as many as in their previous 36 matches (W21 D6 L9).

Indeed, a point against Burnley made it the first time the Reds have drawn four successive matches in the competition since January 2008.

Slot may feel his side deserved more, however, having accumulated a massive 2.96 expected goals (xG) to the visitors' 0.4. Indeed, the Reds' 32 shots in this match was their most in a Premier League game since against Brentford in January last season (37). 

Burnley, meanwhile, were indebted to Edwards, who has been involved in three goals across his last six games (one goal, two assists) after failing to score or assist in his first six appearances for the Clarets.
