It was unlucky 13 for the Clarets as Liverpool set a new club record for consecutive top-flight wins.
The 18-time English champions – although never in the Premier League era after last season’s near miss – had never exceeded a dozen victories in a row.
But thanks to a slice of good fortune set a new mark thanks to an own-goal credited to Chris Wood, a Sadio Mane strike and a late Roberto Firmino effort which earned the Brazilian a footnote in history.
A deflected cross off Wood which flew into the Clarets’ net with just over half an hour gone broke the deadlock after Sean Dyche’s men had asked questions of the European Champions.
