Liverpool's shock defeat by Burnley ends massive 68-game unbeaten home run... and means Chelsea will hold on to their incredible 2008 record when they went barely-believable 86 games without defeat

Burnley's shock victory against Liverpool at Anfield saw the Reds fall short 18 games short of Chelsea's unbelievable record of 86 games without defeat at home in the Premier League.

Jurgen Klopp and his men came into the game against Sean Dyche's side having not suffered a top-flight loss on home soil since Christian Benteke's double brought about a 2-1 defeat by Crystal Palace in April 2017.

But that all changed on Thursday evening when Ashley Barnes' penalty following Alisson's foul on the Burnley forward secured a 1-0 win for the visitors and ended Liverpool's 68-game unbeaten run at home in the Premier League.
