Wijnaldum admits Liverpool weren't 'sharp' or 'greedy' enough during surprise defeat to Burnley

Georginio Wijnaldum admitted Liverpool weren't "sharp" or "greedy" enough during their surprise defeat to Burnley.

Liverpool's 68-game unbeaten league run at Anfield came to an end on Thursday night as the Clarets secured an unlikely 1-0 victory in dramatic fashion.

The hosts had 27 shots on goal over the course of the 90 minutes but only six of those efforts tested Nick Pope in the Burnley net, while the visitors always looked threatening on the break.
