Liverpool's new Premier League season got off to a flying start with a 4-1 demolition of Norwich City at Anfield on August 10, 2019.
Norwich captain Grant Hanley scored the opening goal of the season when he sliced Divock Origi's cross into his own net, before Mohamed Salah opened his account with a goal assisted by Roberto Firmino.
German midfielder Marco Stipermann forced a fine save from Reds keeper Alisson before Virgil van Dijk headed the third from Salah's corner, and Origi nodded the fourth after a stunning pass by Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Teemu Pukki's composed finish reduced the deficit for Norwich after Liverpool lost Alisson to injury, who was replaced by new signing Adrian after slipping while taking a first-half goal-kick.
Elsewhere, Arsenal's Mesut Ozil and Sead Kolasinac were left out of the squad for Sunday's Premier League game at Newcastle due to 'further security incidents', following a carjacking attempt by an armed gang in north-west London two weeks ago.
Arsenal said they are liaising with police and 'providing the players and their families with ongoing support', adding that the welfare of their players and families is always a top priority.
