Premier League: Mohamed Salah scores 150th Liverpool goal in comeback win over Norwich City

By Aman Shukla

Mohamed Salah’s 150th Liverpool goal and Luis Diaz’s first kept the Reds in the chase after the Premier League title as they came from behind to beat Norwich 3-1. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp made seven changes from the side that won 2-0 at Inter Milan in the Champions League in midweek and almost paid a heavy price when the Canaries took a shock lead at Anfield. Milot Rashica’s shot deflected in off Joel Matip three minutes into the second half. But Liverpool’s deadly duo of Sadio Mane and Salah turned the match around with two two goals in the space of three minutes.

Mane delivered an amazing acrobatic finish to meet Kostas Tsimikas’ looping header.

Salah then, at that point, raced onto goalkeeper Alisson Becker’s splendid long ball, rounded Angus Gunn and left two Norwich defenders on the floor to become the second quickest player to 150 Liverpool goals behind Roger Hunt.

Diaz then produced a deft finish either of his two strike partners would be proud of to lift the ball over Gunn from Jordan Henderson’s defence splitting pass.
