Brilliant goals by Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz overturned a deficit and gave Liverpool a 3-1 Premier League win over Norwich City.
Liverpool had the better of the first-half opportunities with Norwich’s Angus Gunn called upon to deny Sadio Mane and Konstantinos Tsimikas.
Salah and Mane in this match was the 30th time that the duo have scored in the same Premier League match for Liverpool – the most of any pair of players for a side in the competition’s history.
But Norwich shocked the hosts when they went ahead on 48 minutes through Milot Rashica’s deflected shot.

Liverpool rallied with two goals in four minutes. Mane equalised with an overhead kick from Tsimikas’s cushioned header on 64 minutes. Salah then collected a long pass from Alisson to finish with his right foot from outside the area.

Successive defeats send Norwich to the bottom of the table with 17 points.
Liverpool’s Salah said,“We were struggling in the beginning when we conceded the goal but I think we played good football [in the] first half. The second half, we conceded the goal, so the game became tougher.
But we managed to come back and it’s a great result.
Of course I’m happy to score 150. I’m always proud to score for this club, and the most important thing is to win games, which is what we did today.”
After the match Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp said ,”We enjoy it. Not all about it, travelling and flying back on Thursday and playing on Saturday, these kinds of things, it’s difficult to enjoy. But obviously the situation, we really enjoy, we see it as an opportunity. We never had it before, that we are in all four competitions. That’s absolutely incredible and we really enjoy that. And long may it continue because that means we can play a lot of football games. That’s what we love most. But it’s not easy for the boys and that’s exactly why we changed today seven times, because I expect from the boys that they listen when I tell them that the next game we play is absolutely the most important game we’ve ever played. Anyway, the only one we play. But it’s not easy and today we wanted to help with seven changes, that we just bring in fresh legs and from there we go. I think we could have brought the game in the right direction early, but didn’t and then it became really hard work and stiff in moments and all these kinds of things. But in the end we made it through and now that feels absolutely great.
