Best of Sadio Mane scored on his Liverpool return to hand the visitors all three points against a brave Norwich side.

Liverpool took yet another step closer to their first Premier League trophy after edging past Norwich in tough conditions on Saturday night.
The hosts battled hard to hold the champions elect for 80 minutes at Carrow Road until Sadio Mane struck.


The visitors pushed for a breakthrough all game and almost came unstuck on a couple of occasions themselves.
Tim Krul pulled off a superb double stop to deny Naby Keita in the second half and Mohamed Salah was unable to convert a chance when the ball fell to him in the Norwich box. It looked like it wasn't going to be Liverpool's night.
Jurgen Klopp introduced Sadio Mane in the second half, making his comeback from injury after three weeks out.

The Senegalese forward, who has been so prolific this season, once again provided the goods for the Reds as they took yet another step closer towards their first league title in 30 years

A fruitful August featured a perfect start to the Premier League season and UEFA Super Cup glory for Liverpool. Having begun the month with a penalty shootout defeat by Manchester City in the FA Community Shield, the Reds bounced back immediately to beat Norwich City 4-1 at Anfield on the opening day of the top-flight campaign. An own goal by Grant Hanley and strikes from Mohamed Salah , Divock Origi and Virgil van Dijk - who would be named UEFA Men's Player of the Year later in August - saw Jürgen Klopp's side surge into a four-goal, half-time lead.
