Liverpool thrilled their fans with a remarkable performance, netting five goals in their first match since the surprising announcement of Jurgen Klopp's departure at the end of the season. The Reds secured a 5-2 victory against Norwich City at Anfield during the fourth round of the FA Cup, bouncing back from the midweek shock that resonated across Merseyside.
The game kicked off with an explosive start as Curtis Jones found the net in the 16th minute, giving Liverpool an early lead. Although Norwich City's centre-back Ben Gibson equalized shortly after, Liverpool quickly regained control with Darwin Nunes scoring in the 28th minute. The second half saw goals from Diogo Jota and Virgil van Dijk, sealing the victory for the Reds. Ryan Gravenberch added a fifth goal in added time, while Borja Sainz scored a consolation second for the visitors.
Liverpool's triumph secured their spot in the last 16 of the tournament, keeping alive their pursuit of four trophies this season. Additionally, there was positive news for the Merseysiders with the return of left-back Andy Robertson, who came off the bench in the second half after a prolonged injury lay-off.
In other matches of the day, Watford and Southampton played to a 1-1 draw, and Wolverhampton secured a 2-0 victory away against UBA in the early game. /BGNES
