Liverpool boss is left to rue damned statistics

LIVERPOOL manager Jurgen Klopp could only have scratched his head yesterday over how his side enjoyed overwhelming superiority in nearly all the match stats, except for the result. In fact, Liverpool bossed every department — apart from the one that mattered. The visitors’ possession percentage of 81 was the highest for a losing side in the Premier League since the 2003-04 season. 81 — Liverpool’s possession percentage. 12 — Liverpool’s corner count, 11 more than Burnley’s. 0 — Liverpool goals.
