Premier League 25/26 Matchday 22 - Liverpool 1:1 Burnley Match Report

Match Report

Liverpool were held to a 1-1 draw by Burnley at Anfield on Saturday.

Florian Wirtz’s goal in the closing stages of a first half during which Dominik Szoboszlai had earlier missed a penalty put the Reds into a thoroughly deserved lead at the interval.

But several opportunities to double the advantage came and went, and an equaliser midway through the second half by Marcus Edwards would earn the visitors a point, despite a late surge of pressure from the Reds.

Team

Arne Slot made six changes from last Monday’s Emirates FA Cup win over Barnsley.

Alisson Becker, Hugo Ekitike, Ryan Gravenberch, Milos Kerkez, Ibrahima Konate and Wirtz returned to the starting XI.

First half

A dominant half that ended with Liverpool having recorded 15 shots on goal began with Kerkez creating a chance with a superb piece of play.

The left-back accelerated away from Edwards, played a one-two with Szoboszlai and then unselfishly sought out Curtis Jones at the back post, only for a defender to clear the danger.

The pattern – Liverpool probing to find a route through Burnley’s low block – was set from the first minute and Ekitike, Gravenberch and Jeremie Frimpong had attempts before, on the half-hour, it seemed the Reds would make good on their promise to score.

Cody Gakpo was fouled in the area as he tried to cut inside and the referee pointed to the spot, but Szoboszlai crashed his penalty kick off the crossbar.

Clarets goalkeeper Martin Dubravka was a busy man and he saved from Gakpo and Wirtz before, finally, the breakthrough arrived as half-time approached.

Ekitike showcased his full armoury of skills by first bringing Virgil van Dijk’s long pass under his spell and then tenaciously driving his way goalwards on the byline.

His shot from a tight angle was stopped, but Jones was there to collect and tee up Wirtz, who drilled high into the net for his fourth goal in his last six appearances.

Second half

The second half began as the first had ended, with Liverpool on the attack and their No.7 to the fore.

Wirtz nearly got his second goal of the afternoon when he linked up with Szoboszlai, only for Dubravka to smother at his feet.

The Germany playmaker then slalomed his way into space in the area before squaring to Gakpo, who beat Dubravka only to be thwarted by Maxime Esteve’s goalline clearance.

Though with an hour gone, the balance of play briefly evened up and Alisson was alert to save when Konate, in blocking Edwards’ cross, inadvertently slid the ball towards his own goal.

But a couple of minutes later, Edwards took matters into his own hands and, after being slipped in in the inside-left channel, fired the equaliser low and hard into the far bottom corner.

Liverpool quickly looked to restore their lead and Ekitike thought he had done just that in minute 77, but his close-range finish was disallowed for offside.

A triple substitution by Slot saw Alexis Mac Allister, Rio Ngumoha and Andy Robertson introduced, and the No.10’s first involvement was to clear the bar with a presentable chance.

Federico Chiesa was next to be brought on but the late wave of pressure on Dubravka’s goal amounted to nothing and the points were shared.

FA Cup Third Round - Liverpool 4:1 Barnsley Match Report

Match Report

Liverpool advanced to the Emirates FA Cup fourth round with a 4-1 victory over Barnsley at Anfield on Monday night.

Clinical finishes from Dominik Szoboszlai and Jeremie Frimpong put Arne Slot’s team two goals to the good during the first half.

The former was guilty of a costly mistake before the interval, though, one that was punished by Adam Phillips to bring the away side back into the tie.

But substitutes Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike found the target late on to ensure the Reds set up a February home clash with Brighton & Hove Albion in the next stage.

Team

There were six changes to the starting XI for Liverpool, while Wataru Endo and Ekitike bolstered the bench by returning from fitness issues.

First half

Liverpool were grateful to not find themselves behind 30 seconds into the tie.

Phillips curled an inviting cross from the right flank that Davis Keillor-Dunn met with a crisp header at goal that looked to have Giorgi Mamardashvili beaten but bounced out off the near post.

The League One outfit’s bright start continued with a counter-attack after Joe Gomez was robbed of the ball on the halfway line, before Nathanael Ogbeta flashed a cross-shot off target from a narrow angle.

In response, the Reds took the lead from a moment of exquisite quality.

Alexis Mac Allister fed a pass across the pitch to Szoboszlai, slightly left of centre and more than 25 yards out. The Hungarian unleashed a stunning, dipping effort inside the left post that Murphy Cooper could not get near.

The hosts’ dominance of possession was no spoiler to Barnsley’s ambition on the break and Keillor-Dunn was disappointed to only screw a finish wide having been able to dart forward to the edge of the area.

Then, after a partially cleared corner, Jonathan Bland fired in a half-volley that required a reaction from Mamardashvili, diving to his left to glove away.

Liverpool were steadily exerting pressure, though, and their lead was doubled with 36 on the clock.

It was almost all of Frimpong’s own making, the No.30 speeding past his marker on a dribble in from the flank and hammering a left-footed strike past Cooper.

Still, the teams retired to the dressing room with the scoreline gap reduced to one goal.

Szoboszlai had chased back diligently to close off a Phillips run in behind but, having then carried on into his own box, the midfielder’s misjudged flicked pass allowed his opponent to convert from yards out.

Second half

Rio Ngumoha’s floated cross narrowly evaded Curtis Jones at the far post as Liverpool sought to pin their visitors back from the restart.

Just shy of the hour mark, from a short-corner routine Szoboszlai’s delivery reached Virgil van Dijk, whose instinctive hit was deflected, touched by Cooper and clipped the crossbar.

Slot turned to his subs with the final 30 minutes impending. Ekitike made his comeback from injury, alongside the introduction of Ibrahima Konate and Wirtz.

The Barnsley bench was incensed when the officials were unmoved by appeals that Szoboszlai had brought down Reyes Cleary as he attacked into the area. Replays confirmed the Reds man won the ball.

Van Dijk was inches away from restoring a two-goal advantage with a header across the net from Cody Gakpo’s dinked centre, the ball falling just wide.

At the other end, Szoboszlai was in the right place near the goalline to clear away a Phillips shot, and next his brilliant cross from deep was prodded too high by Wirtz at close range.

But the Germany international made no mistake six minutes from the end, linking up with Ekitike and dispatching a curler home in front of the Kop.

And the same pair combined deep into stoppage time for Ekitike to add his name to the scoresheet, with Liverpool booking a round-four fixture against Brighton.
