Welcoming First Division opponent Norwich, Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp brought on the field three young players: right back Conor Bradley, center back Jarell Quansah and defensive midfielder James McConnell.

Despite not fielding the optimal lineup, Liverpool easily pressed after the opening whistle. However, we had to wait until the 16th minute for Liverpool to celebrate the opening goal. 19-year-old James McConnell made an accurate cross for Curtis Jones to head into the net for the away team.

While Liverpool fans were still cheering and celebrating the goal, Norwich suddenly brought the match back to the starting line. In the 22nd minute, Norwich suddenly equalized after a corner kick. Ben Gibson shot with his back and put the ball into the net, surprising goalkeeper Alisson.

However, Norwich did not rejoice for too long because just 6 minutes later, Darwin Nunez restored Liverpool’s advantage. The author of the assist was 20-year-old player Conor Bradley and 2-1 was the result of the first half.

Entering the second half, Liverpool and Norwich continued to deliver extremely satisfying attacks. From minutes 53 to 63, Jota and Van Dijk respectively put their names on the scoreboard, helping Liverpool lead 4-1.

In the remaining time, Norwich did not give up and even had a second goal in the 69th minute when Borja Sainz scored to help the away team narrow the gap to 2-4. However, that’s all the away team could do in this match.

Minute 90+5, Gravenberch ended the goal “party” at Anfield with a goal that sealed a 5-2 victory for Liverpool. This result helps coach Jurgen Klopp and his team win tickets to play in the 5th round of the FA Cup.
