Liverpool have secured their place in the fifth round of the FA Cup with an impressive 5-2 victory over Norwich. The match, which took place at a charged Anfield, marked the team’s first game since Jurgen Klopp’s departure. The home fans were in full voice, proudly displaying banners celebrating the German manager’s numerous accomplishments.

Staying true to Klopp’s relentless style, Liverpool immediately put pressure on Norwich, resulting in an early goal after just 15 minutes. Curtis Jones expertly volleyed home James McConnell’s cross to give the Reds the lead.

However, Norwich quickly responded with an equalizer from Ben Gibson, who shouldered the ball into the net from a Gabriel Sara corner. Liverpool wasted no time in regaining their advantage, with Darwin Nunez sweeping home a goal inside the box.

The second half saw Dioga Jota extend Liverpool’s lead even further, capitalizing on a mistake from Gibson. Substitute Virgil van Dijk then added to the tally with a powerful header, making it four for the Reds.

Despite a brilliant long-range strike from Norwich substitute Borja Sainz, which briefly gave them hope, Liverpool remained in control. The Reds displayed confidence and energy throughout the match, particularly in front of their departing manager.

Ryan Gravenberch sealed the victory for Liverpool with a goal in injury time, rounding off an impressive performance. Liverpool’s next opponent in the fifth round will be either Watford or Southampton. The two teams played out a 1-1 draw earlier on Sunday, necessitating a replay to determine the winner.
