Liverpool's man-of-the-moment Fabinho was tasked with speaking to the media after his match-winning goal against Burnley on Sunday afternoon.
To his surprise, the Brazilian was questioned about Liverpool's defensive display despite their clean sheet.
"They had a lot of chances today," said the reporter, to which Fabinho quickly replied: "No, not really."
The reporter's comments mirrored those made by commentators during the game, and Match of the Day 2 also decided to show Burnley's clear-cut efforts in their highlight reel.
Of the four Burnley shots that were replayed on the BBC programme, two would not have counted if they had found the back of the net. "They need to be more clinical," said the pundits on the show in their analysis, yet little attention was dedicated to how Liverpool had caught them offside several times.

Due to modern refereeing and the addition of VAR, linesmen are instructed to refrain from immediately raising their flags. They are encouraged to let moves play out instead, before flagging and consulting technology further down the line.
The Reds caught Burnley offside seven times during the clash, which is the second-highest total that Liverpool have posted in a Premier League match this season.
Jurgen Klopp's offside trap is a staple of his playing style. Inspired by Arrigo Sacchi, the German coach instructs his players to behave as one unified entity, while keeping a high defensive line and pressing in the final third.
Speaking in December, Pep Lijnders - Klopp's assistant - said: "Jurgen has said before that many of the foundations of his philosophy were based on the principles of the Milan coach. There are so many elements that touched us but firstly, the emphasis on the offside trap."
The subtle ploy has been an integral part of their success. So far this season, no team in Europe's top five leagues have caught their opponents offside more than Liverpool, who boast an impressive total of 101.
The next-best English side, for context, places 13th on just 61 offsides.
As a result of Klopp's tactical approach and the changes made to refereeing due to VAR, the Reds can appear as though they are in trouble on the defensive side of the game, when they really are not.
Liverpool's offside trap can seem risky from an outside perspective but thanks to VAR, the team are safe. Klopp knows that if an opposing player is offside by little more than an inch or two, the right call will be made.
Ultimately, although Liverpool's defence can appear leaky in certain moments, it is more watertight than many seem to think.
