Liverpool’s incredible 68-match unbeaten home run in the League has come to an end.

This, after the Reds fell to a shock 1-0 defeat to Burnley at Anfield this morning, with Ashley Barnes grabbing a late winner for the visitors from the penalty spot.

Burnley are now the first team since April 2017 to beat Liverpool on their home ground in the league.

The result also leaves the defending champions fourth in the table, six points adrift of leaders Man United.

This, after the Portugal and Juventus star netted his 760^th career goal, one more than previous record-holder Josef Bican.

The Czech FA, however, claims that Bican actually scored more than 800 times throughout his career, including goals that had previously been missing from official records.

FIFA has warned footballers that they will be banned from international competitions like the World Cup and Euros, if they play in the proposed European Super League.

The sport’s governing body made it very clear that the competition is not, and will not be recognized.

The controversial Super League is a planned invitation-only competition featuring Europe’s biggest football clubs, who will play in a Champions League-style event, with the same teams taking part every year.
