Liverpool rallied with two goals in four minutes. Mane equalised with an overhead kick from Tsimikas’s cushioned header on 64 minutes. Salah then collected a long pass from Alisson to finish with his right foot from outside the area.
Diaz opened his Liverpool account nine minutes from time to seal the Reds’ fifth successive PL win which puts them six points behind leaders Man City ahead of the champions’ home match against Spurs.
Successive defeats send Norwich to the bottom of the table with 17 points.
