Liverpool start league campaign with easy win to repeat history

Liverpool remains unbeaten in its last 13 games against Norwich City whom they defeated 4-1 in Friday’s English Premier League opener.

It was an easy win for the European champion as they ran riot against their inexperienced opponents.

Norwich are returning to the top-flight game after three years.

Scottish international Grant Hanley scored a calamitous own goal.

The experienced defender was one of only two Norwich players who had previously tasted life in the top flight.

Egyptian star Mo Salah quickly doubled his side’s lead before Virgil van Dijk and Divock Origi made it 4-0 at halftime.

However, Teemu Pukki — who was last season’s top scorer in British football’s second-tier — gave the visiting fans something to cheer about after he swept home a consolation goal in the second half.
