"What a player" - Gomez praises match-winning cameo appearance from Sadio Mané
Liverpool's Sadio Mané came off the bench to keep The Reds' Premier League winning streak going at Carrow Road on Saturday evening.
Daniel Farke's Norwich had provided stern opposition for the bulk of the game until Mané changed things with a brilliantly taken goal. Liverpool's number 10 had only been on the field 18 minutes before he struck the winner.

Will this be Liverpool's starting eleven to face Norwich City on Saturday?
Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool side travels to Carrow Road this Saturday evening where they face Norwich City in the Premier League.
Daniel Farke's Canaries visited Anfield on the opening weekend of the season, losing 4-1 in a game where Alisson Becker suffered a calf injury that would keep him out for the following two months.
At the moment, Klopp is without Nathaniel Clyne and Yasser Larouci. James Milner, Xherdan Shaqiri and Sadio Mané will all face late fitness tests.
Alisson has …
Oxlade-Chamberlain adds another dimension to Liverpool midfield
The 4-1 dismantling of Norwich City or the Super Cup triumph over Chelsea should be the highlight of the two weeks old 2019/20 campaign but the biggest positive so far arrived in the 2-1 victory against Southampton.
No, it wasn’t Sadio Mane continuing his destructive 2019 with a goal and an assist. It wasn’t Roberto Firmino opening his account for the campaign just days after coming off the bench to change the game against Frank Lampard’s side in Istanbul.
It …
Liverpool 4-1 Norwich: A Tactical Breakdown

Jurgen Klopp is considering starting Sadio Mané against Norwich
Liverpool's Sadio Mané could be picked to start against Norwich City at Anfield tonight despite only returning from his summer break earlier this week.
The Reds' number 10 had a hectic summer, going all the way to the AFCON final where Senegal eventually lost to Algeria.
Due to his extended international duty, Mané only returned to Melwood on Monday so his first-team training has been extremely limited.
However, speaking on Thursday in his pre-match press conference, Jurgen Klopp didn't seem …

5 Defining Moments From the Reds' 2015/16 Premier League Season
Yet another season of the Premier League has just ended with a new champion being crowned (how rare is that!) and Liverpool ending in 8th place (not so rare!). Once Liverpool changed their manager in October, it was always known that this season would not be where we would be competing at the top table and hence anything achieved would be a bonus.
Like any other season there were lot of good moments and an equal share of bad moments. …
