Liverpool’s title defence suffered a huge dent last night following a 1-0 loss to Burnley at Anfield. It ended an impressive run of 68 top-flight games without defeat at home, and it saw the Reds remain in fourth place in the table – six points behind league leaders Manchester United. Liverpool’s defeat at Burnley’s hands blew the title and top-four races wide open, and Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti has reacted to the shocking result.
“I was pleased to watch the game and how Burnley competed,” the Italian told Liverpool Echo ahead of his side’s F.A Cup game against Sheffield Wednesday.
