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 Source.Mirrror.c...

   Sadio Mane refused to stray from Liverpool's 'one game at a time' mentality after his strike off the bench against Norwich City sent his side 25 points clear. On his first appearance since suffering an injury at Wolverhampton Wanderers three weeks ago, Mane thumped a clinical 78th-minute finish beyond Tim Krul to give the Reds a 1-0 result at Carrow Road. It was the 25th victory from 26 Premier League matches this term for Jürgen Klopp’s side and the match-winner insisted they will not change their mindset as they move closer to their target. Pos.

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.

Norwich 0-1 Liverpool: Sadio Mane's 100th goal in English football extends Reds' lead at the top of the Premier League to 25 points Sadio Mane fired home from Jordan Henderson's long ball on 78 minutes to secure yet another victory Tim Krul had earlier denied Naby Keita a rare goal with a brilliant save from close range on  59 minutes Norwich's best chance fell to Alexander Tettey who hit the crossbar with a thunderous second half effort Liverpool are now guaranteed to finish above Manchester United with 13 games still left to play  Not even the elements can tame Liverpool. Not even the gale that blew across Carrow Road. Not even the rain that swirled in the floodlight glare and stung in fierce squalls can thwart them. Nor a Norwich side fighting an increasingly forlorn battle for survival at the foot of the table. Nothing can stop their inexorable march towards the title. Storm Dennis frustrated them for a while and threatened to knock them out of th...

Latching onto Jordan Henderson's ball into the box, the forward fired in at the near post to finally find a way through a spirited Norwich backline and secure victory for the Reds. Team news There was one change to the line-up that defeated Southampton in the last top-flight encounter, with Naby Keita coming in to make his 50th appearance for the Reds in place of Fabinho. Mane and James Milner started on the bench after recovering from their muscular injuries.

Liverpool v Norwich City: Team news

Image
Liverpool have no fresh injury concerns ahead of Saturday's trip to Norwich City and are boosted by having Sadio Mane and James Milner in contention to feature. The pair have participated in full training at Melwood this past week following their recovery from muscular injuries.  Mane  has missed the Reds' last two Premier League matches with a small muscle tear, while  Milner  hasn't been involved since limping off in January's FA Cup tie with Everton. "It's good news," Jürgen Klopp said at a press conference on Friday. "They both trained from Monday – and they both trained through the last week anyway – so they are in contention." However,   Xherdan Shaqiri  will be forced to miss the encounter at Carrow Road with his calf injury.  The No.23 and  Nathaniel Clyne  (ACL) are the only first-team players expected to be sidelined for the clash, which is Liverpool's first since the winter break. On how his p...
