Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum insists the Reds should learn their lessons from their 2-0 defeat against Burnley at Turf Moor.

Burnley forward Sam Vokes opened the scoring after just two minutes at Turf Moor before Andre Gray doubled the Clarets’ lead shortly before the half-time break.

The Dutch midfielder says the Reds underperformed against the newly-promoted side but insists his side should move on quickly ahead of their next to matches against with Burton Albion and Tottenham Hotspur.

‘It’s difficult to say why,’ Wijnaldum told Liverpoolfc.com.

‘They play differently to Arsenal, with lots of long balls and trying to win the second ball. We made two mistakes and they scored two goals and we didn’t create any big chances. That was the story in the first half.

‘We expected to create better chances than we did. Sometimes you have the kind of games that it doesn’t work, and you have to keep your confidence and look forward.’

The 25-year-old  clash has called on his teammates to regroup before the Capital One Cup clash on Tuesday.

‘Every game I try to learn because every game is different. I’d be happier if I could learn from games we win, but from games, you lose you learn more,’ he added.

‘We must move on to the next game and not make the same mistakes we made today, and look forward with confidence.’

Liverpool will be hoping to get back to winning ways when they play Burton Albion in the Capital One Cup at Pirelli Stadium on Tuesday.

Kick-off has been set for 20:45.
