Report and free highlights as Mane breaks 78 minutes of Norwich resistance to edge Liverpool closer to the title


Liverpool took another stride towards the Premier League title as they overcame Norwich 1-0 at a blustery Carrow Road thanks to Sadio Mane's second-half strike.
With Storm Dennis hitting East Anglia ahead of kick-off, the adverse weather conditions made the task of breaking down a gutsy Norwich outfit that bit more difficult for the league leaders.

Lukas Rupp spurned a glorious first-half chance and Alexander Tettey hit the post after the break, but Liverpool, as they have done all season, found a way as substitute Mane marked his return from injury with the winner 12 minutes from time.
The victory extends Liverpool's winning streak in the Premier League to 17 games, an incredible run that has moved them to within five more victories of a 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.
