Burnley didn't have a single touch in the opposition box in the second half of the game versus Liverpool today.
Liverpool had 41 in the Burnley box, with the last of those being Mohamed Salah's match-winning penalty.
Newcastle fans have been in denial all summer, but Alexander Isak is finally joining Liverpool.
This calls for a special... #FanDenial.

40.8% - The ball was in play for just 40.8% of tonight's game between Newcastle and Liverpool, the lowest percentage in a Premier League match since February 2010 (40% in Stoke 3-0 Blackburn). Stoppages.
Short of cutting his arm off it’s difficult to know what Tarkowski’s supposed to do. Refs told to look for 3 things with handball. Deliberate movement of arm away from body. None. Clear additional arm movement. None. Arm position makes body position bigger & is unjustifiable. No.
Virgil (rightly but with mitigation through illness & missed game) received criticism for his performance & organisation vs Palace
In 5 days - as if ever in doubt - you see him bounce back & his 2nd half numbers are ridiculous
His overall numbers very high and unusual for a Liverpool centre back defensively
2nd half alone
Clearances 14/14
Headed clearances 12/12
Aerial duels 7/7

Loads more to get stuck in to on Review @TheAnfieldWrap being recorded tomorrow
17 - Virgil van Dijk made 17 clearances against Bournemouth, 13 of which were headed clearances; both were his most in a single Premier League game for Liverpool, on what was his 235th such appearance. Dominance.
Ah, Antoine Semenyo reported an alleged racist comment made in his direction.
Obviously, we're fully behind the player if so. Absolutely vile and putrid, and the offending fan(s) should get a lifetime ban.
