Norwich vs Liverpool LIVE: Result and reaction from Premier League fixture today
Follow all the action live as champions-elect Liverpool take on rock-bottom Norwich City at Carrow Road.
Liverpool are already 22 points clear at the top of the Premier league table, however, Jurgen Klopp insists his side are solely focused on the task at hand ahead of the club’s Champions League last-16 tie against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.
Daniel Farke’s Norwich are seven points adrift at the bottom, having won just one of their last 12 league games, but are set to be boosted by the return of Emiliano Buendia to the starting line-up.
90+3 mins: Norwich made it difficult for them but as they have done so often this season Liverpool were able to find a winning goal courtesy of a Sadio Mane cameo.
They scored in the 78th minute to take, and hold onto the lead. Liverpool go 43 top flight games undefeated, they have 17 wins in a row and are 25 points clear at the top of the table.
90 mins: Norwich's gameplan comes into full effect with a couple of minutes left to play. Pukki is sent away with the ball as van Dijk tracks him. As he reaches the edge of the box he shoots but Alisson makes the save.
87 mins: Norwich have been defending all game and are struggling to win the ball back now. Henderson sends the ball out to Alexander-Arnold on the overlap and he sends a quick cross into the box. It reaches Firmino on the back post and he has the chance to end the game but he sends the shot wide of goal.
84 mins: Keita catches Cantwell late and the Liverpool man is put in the book. As a precaution Jurgen Klopp replaces him with James Milner for the final minutes of the game.
81 mins: VAR had a look at the goal for a potential push from Mane but there wasn't much in it and Liverpool have the lead. It's taken them a while to get in front with Sadio Mane providing all the impetus. Can Norwich come back?
78 mins: GOAL! Henderson sends the ball long into the box. Sadio Mane gets in between two defenders and brings down the ball. He turns and fires the ball into the back of the net at the near post.
75 mins: Norwich are having a good time out their now. They win back to back corners but aren't able to convert any of them.
Jamal Lewis then goes on a break away and runs the ball into the box. He shrugs off Gomez and shoots but the ball hits Pukki on it's way to goal and deflects wide.
72 mins: Tettey takes everyone by surprise as he collects the ball on the side side of the box. He looks to cross the ball but mishits it and turns the cross into a decent shot. Alisson jolts into action and dives to his left but he is beaten and the ball bounces off the nearest post.
69 mins: Mane has brought a new energy into Liverpool's attacking play. On a couple of occasions now he's used his pace to devastate the flagging Norwich defence and get into the box only for another yellow shirt to deny him a chance on goal.
66 mins: Norwich are under siege. Mane breaks forward with Robertson in support. The ball is played into the box and Robertson puts the cross in. Salah wins the ball and shoots before it's deflected out to Henderson on the right. He puts the ball back into the box but Norwich defend and give away a corner.
63 mins: Sadio Mane and Fabinho are brought on by Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool make a double change. Wijnaldum and Oxlade-Chamberlain are the men to go off.
60 mins: Liverpool have looked to shoot more from outside the box in his half but haven't found enough openings. Salah creates one for Keita who let's fly and Krul jumps to tip the ball over the crossbar.
DOUBLE SAVE!
Liverpool work the ball into the box from the right wing and Salah brings it down. He dummies twice and shoots with his right foot. Krul dives to his right and pushes the ball away. Keita gets to it first and kicks the ball straight at Krul who clings on this time.
57 mins: Liverpool put a number of passes together but don't look fluid or sharp. Salah makes a mini run into the box and Keita attempts to feed the ball through to him but it is intercepted.
54 mins: Aarons gets forward as Norwich launch an attack of their own. He plays a short pass to Rupp who plays the ball into the box. Cantwell meets it with a good run, shrugs off Robertson and shoots but hits the side netting.
45+2 mins: Norwich stand fast for the closing minutes of the first half and they'll go into the break on level terms with Liverpool.
It's not been a really exciting game so far but Norwich have come in with a gameplan and are sticking to it. They've had the best chance of the half and should be one-nil up.
Liverpool for all their possession have only had three shots on target.
45 mins: Lewis misjudges a bouncing ball as he tries to head it away from Firmino but he only manages to tap it backwards. Firmino takes possession and runs it to the edge of the box but Lewis does well to recover and win the ball back strongly.
There's two added minutes to play at the end of the half.
42 mins: Liverpool win a free kick just outside of the box, just slightly to the left. Alexander-Arnold goes for goal but Krul catches the ball easily enough.
