The 'Reds' got their 17th consecutive victory in the Premier League, three days after measuring at Atlético de Madrid in the knockout stages of the Champions League.
The visit to the Norwich was not a simple encounter, since until the final quarter hour Mané failed to seal the triumph the triumph. The locals, surrounded by their audience, resisted Liverpool attacks and even had opportunities to get ahead on the scoreboard.
Alisson Becker took Lukas Rupp a hand in hand, who tried to give it to Teemu Pukki at the last moment, but the Brazilian's hand appeared to cut Norwich's best chance in the first half.
In the second, Liverpool already overturned, and Tim Krul became for many minutes the local hero, with two stops to a shot of Mohamed Salah at the half-turn and a blow to Naby Keita . In the middle of the siege of Liverpool, it was even possible for the Norwich to take the game, when Alexander Tettey surprised all the 'Reds' defenders with a low shot that crashed into the post.

The English midfielder sent a long ball to Senegalese, who punctured the ball with his right hand and defined a goal with his left foot, achieving his goal number one hundred in English football (75 with Liverpool and 25 with Southampton).
