For the 4th game in a row in the Premier League campaign of 2025-26, Liverpool managed to seal another victory with a late goal that led them towards their victory. Burnley Football Club showcased an excellent defensive performance in this game, but ultimately, they had to leave completely empty-handed.
Liverpool had been extremely dominant from the very first minute, but Burnley defence had been rock solid and it was looking like the defending Premier League champions were finding it impossible to break the defence of the home side despite keeping more possession. They had some impressive chances but failed to convert.

Milos Kerkez, who was booked for simulation, was substituted in the 37th minute, which looked a little confusing for a lot of Liverpool fans. Andy Robertson appeared for the first time this season in the league, and he had a long time to remind everyone what he was capable of. The first ended in a goalless draw, which had been really frustrating for Liverpool.

With the start of the second half, Liverpool increased the pressure on Burnley's defence, but it looked even stronger as the Reds could not find even a single gap to break the defence of the home side. Each and every shot attempt of Liverpool were getting blocked by Burnley. Slowly, it was looking completely impossible for the Reds.
Ugochukwu was sent off in the 83rd minute for committing a foul on Florian Wirtz. It was his second yellow card, as the first yellow card was also believed by a lot to be an offence for a red card. Had to defend with 10 men for the last 10 minutes of the game, including added time, and they did an amazing job.

Burnley certainly did not deserve to lose this game after the performance they put in the defence. It had been one of the best defensive performances of this season in the Premier League so far, and it will also be remembered as one of the best defensive performances of the Premier League 2025-26.
But life is not a fairy tale. Burnley definitely deserved to lose this game, but unfortunately for them, they committed a penalty in the 94th minute of the game, and Mohamed Salah did not make any mistake to convert it into a late winner. Burnley had to leave without a single point but their defence definitely deserves massive praise.
