[엑스포츠뉴스 김정현 인턴기자] Liverpool set many disgraced records with their defeat before Burnley.
Liverpool lost 0-1 in a match against Burnley in Round 18 of the Premier League in the 2020/21 season on the 22nd (Korea time). Liverpool continued their five-game draw streak, maintaining fourth place.
Liverpool fell into severe scoring. Liverpool continued their goalless march for four consecutive league games. This is the first time in 21 years since the 1999/00 season, after a goalless march for five games from round 34 to round 38.
Liverpool also finished their long-standing Anfield undefeated march in 68 games. It was a home loss in about 3 years and 9 months, 1369 days after losing 1-2 in the home game against Crystal Palace in the 2016/17 season. With this home defeat, Chelsea’s 86-game home undefeated streak from 2004 to 2008 remains in history.
Also, as he sat down to fourth place, he kept his distance from the lead. Currently, Liverpool is six points away from Manchester United, the number one player with 34 points.
In addition, the second place Manchester City is scoring 38 points in a game less than the other leading teams, so if Man City wins a deferred match, Man City will lead with 41 points.
Liverpool held first place until Christmas 2020, but lost 0-1 in their Southampton expedition in round 17, dropping from first to second and falling to fourth.
For Liverpool, a heartbreaking record of disgrace is bound to rise. This is because Liverpool is the only team that has not won the championship even though it held first until Christmas. Liverpool left a case in which it failed to win the league even though it maintained its lead at Christmas in three times in the 2008/09 season, the 2013/14 season, and the 2018/19 season.
For the first time in the 2019/20 season, Liverpool, who won the overwhelming league title by retaining the lead at Christmas time, was on the verge of rewriting the disgrace next season.
Liverpool, with a red light on the competition for the lead, is likely to face a crisis even in the Champions League ticket competition if it fails to rebound.
