draw game on lichess after 2 repetitions?

Question

I was playing this game with white

I was losing, so I was happy to see the 3-position draw button appearing, which I clicked.

But after, reviewing the game, I couldn't see a reason for that to happen, I see only 2 repetition...

Where am I wrong?

Thanks

The same position appeared after 56. Kf8, 58. Kf8 and 60. Kf8 -- 3 repetitions of the position (not moves).

A draw can be claimed when the third repetition is about to occur. – PhishMaster Jan 24 '20 at 01:29

@PhishMaster Not on lichess and other online sites -- the draw is claimable online only when the third repetition is on the board. – Remellion Jan 24 '20 at 01:47
