Liverpool pushed past a brief scare to end up with a comfortable 3-1 victory courtesy of goals from Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz. But what were the key stats as the Reds kept up their formidable juggernaut?
Shooting for gold (and green)
Liverpool took 29 shots against Norwich, the 2nd highest they have managed...
It wasn't the stroll many thought that it would be, but Liverpool continued their winning ways, with a 3-1 victory over Norwich City. After a goalless first half, Milot Rashica's shot deflected cruelly off Joel Matip to give the visitors the lead.
Jurgen Klopp had to respond, and he did with a double change introducing...
Alisson Becker - 7.5
Back after international duty, and a good stop early on from Maddison. Was fairly routine after that till the break. Rarely called into action in the second break, but was in command throughout.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 7.5
A little loose with a pass early on presented a chance for Maddison, but recovered...
In the aftermath of the Diaz transfer being confirmed, those involved on the Under Pressure podcast were investigating the stats behind the Reds' new signing.
In an effort to compare different leagues, Dan Kennett used two different academic studies (that you can read here and here).
"Arguing about domestic league strength is something that soccer fans...
It was so close: had Nat Phillips been sold on a permanent transfer for a fee of around £10m, and Liverpool secured the signature of Fabio Carvalho from Fuham then FSG, Julian Ward and the departing Micheal Edwards would have achieved a 'perfect' transfer window according to Dave Hendrick on AI Scouted.

You'll know all about Luis Diaz by now.
You'll know he is explosively quick, a genuine goal threat and he has that special something about him. You know what I mean, that ability to create something out of nothing that just leaves you confused but impressed. There's a touch of Luis Suarez about him. I've...
Not since Ibrahima Konate arrived at Anfield have I been able to submit a piece on a new Liverpool signing. Yet as the first month of 2022 draws to a close, the final period of the transfer window appears to have delivered the Reds' fanbase at least one new signing.
Whereas all top level football...
So, it is Luis Diaz. Having been linked with a host of attackers over the last couple of months, the decision has been made and the Colombian looks set to be the latest addition to the Liverpool forward line. At the time of writing this, anyway. We could end up with another Nabil Fekir...
Money will have played a part in the club’s decision to opt for Diaz over others. This is not a case of Liverpool being cheap or FSG being tight though.Â
The Reds have been linked with Arnaut Danjuma and Harvey Barnes over recent months. Â Both ply their trade on the left of attack and...
