Liverpool have now won 17 consecutive Premier League games after substitute Sadio Mane sunk a game Norwich at Carrow Road.
Match Report
Sadio Mane made a goalscoring return for Liverpool, coming off the bench to snatch a 1-0 win for the runaway Premier League leaders at Norwich City.
Jurgen Klopp's side were on top for long spells but ceded a clear chance in each half to the Canaries – Lukas Rupp botching a one-on-one and Alexander Tettey hitting the post.
Mane duly helped the Liverpool attack shift through the gears and stepped up with the winner 12 minutes from time.

1' MISS! Alexander-Arnold's shot wide out
Alexander-Arnold decides to have a go from range with around 12 seconds on the clock, dragging his shot wide of the target. Liverpool have made a fast start.
6' CLOSE! Pukki misses a good chance!
The hosts are forming a compact shape at the back and that is making it difficult for Liverpool to find a way through. It is an approach numerous teams have tried against Klopp's men this term with little success.
36' What a save from Alisson!
A simple ball over the top catches out Liverpool. Rupp controls it and has just Alisson to beat, but he elects to pass to Pukki alongside him and Alisson intercepts. It would have gone to a VAR check for offside had Norwich scored.
52' CLOSE! Cantwell hits the net
Norwich break forward and Cantwell has the chance to shoot. He takes a little too long, though, and Liverpool get bodies back. From the next attacking wave, the same player fires into the side-netting from a tight angle.
58' CHANCE! Keita's long shot denied by Krul
Salah tees up Keita for a thunderous shot from 20 yards, which Krul tips over the bar. From the corner, Van Dijk holds off his marker and guides a header on target, but Krul is again equal to it.
59' Krul makes brilliant double-save
Liverpool are starting to turn the screw now. Krul parries a low Salah drive and quickly gets up to block the follow-up attempt from Keita. The Liverpool midfielder had to score!
60' Sub! Mane replaces Oxlade-Chamberlain
Mane, who has spent a spell on the sidelines, comes on for Oxlade-Chamberlain in the second of Liverpool's changes.
78' GOAL! Norwich 0-1 Liverpool (Mane)
Henderson sends a long ball into the box, Mane controls it and fires past Krul at his near post on the turn. Norwich complain of a shove, but the goal stands after a VAR check.

Much as we are hailing liverpool for their terrific runs thus far, i seem to be the only one here who still has issue with liverpools number ten (10) position and how important it continues to prove. week in week out, esp against teams which decides to sit deep in their half, I remember only once in the first half when Keita tried to dribble past a couple of guys. Liverpool lack a proper number 10 who will provide that defense splitting pass or someone who can genuinely dribble past a couple of guys before providing that cutting edge pass. We saw how liverpool struggled all day looking for that when norwich decided to sit deep in their own half yesterday. Klopp and his stuff have got rectify this in the summer, it cant continue this way.
