Vincent Kompany reveals he experienced something for the first time in his career at Anfield

Vincent Kompany rued Burnley's profligacy in their loss against Liverpool - and admitted that Manchester City never had as many goalscoring chances in games he played at Anfield during his playing days.

The Reds earned a 3-1 win to move back to the top of the Premier League. However, it was hardly plain sailing for Jurgen Klopp's side. Burnley missed several chances throughout - including David Fofana missing two one-vs-one opportunities when the visitors trailed 2-1 in the second half.

Kompany managed at Anfield for the first time in his career. While he won four league titles as City captain, a victory on Liverpool's patch was never something the former centre-back achieved.

But he took the positives from the performances despite Burnley taking another step closer to relegation. He said via the BBC: “I’ve been to this place as a player quite a few times where in a game we didn’t have as many chances as we did today,” he said.

“But the game plan for us is always the same. You go to these places you need a little bit of luck on your side and we didn’t have that despite the performance. You need to put away your chances and we didn’t do that.

“I will take the positives out of the game, but I can’t hide the fact that we would have liked to have a result, of course.”
