And that's an Anfield wrap. The Liverpool players will be wondering how they aren't celebrating a win while they tuck into their Sunday takeaway, while their Norwich rivals will be tempted for a cheeky beer on the coach home.

No Monday night football tomorrow, so join us again on Tuesday for a night packed with League Cup fun. Cheerio!

Liverpool scorer Danny Ings, who netted his first goal since arriving from Burnley in the summer: "On a personal note it was good to get off the mark but at the same time it is disappointing because I thought we should have got three points.

"It is great to get off the mark anywhere but even better in front of the Kop. I had another chance where I tried going round the keeper, perhaps I should have poked it in. 

"You would have thought that we would close the game out, but games like this happen, you create loads of chances but they won't go in. But the positive thing today is that we created lots of chances - more than we have done.

Opta:  Danny Ings has scored just 2:54 after coming on as a half-time sub.  

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers: "We had confidence after getting the first goal but we lost concentration on a corner.

"It was a poor goal from that aspect. Then we couldn't get that winning goal. We had a number of opportunities and that was the pleasing aspect of today.

"It was important that we got some flow in our game and our intensity in the second half was much better. But you have to look after the back door and at the corner we didn't do that."

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers: "It is disappointing and frustrating not to get the three points. We didn't pass the ball well in the first half but second half we created more opportunities.

"We had chances to win the game but didn't take them. Our supporters were brilliant and sensed the shackles were lifted from the players after the opening goal.

"But you have got to be clinical and we didn't take those chances. In terms of numbers it's not so good but for me it's all about the performance."

Brendan Rodgers wasn't as positive afterwards as Alistair Lowe (see below) mischievously suggests, but the Liverpool boss was upbeat. Here's what he had to say...

Alistair Lowe:  Brendan Rodgers changes formation again, no idea on best 11. Poor to watch but sure he will say they were excellent in some areas....

Norwich manager Alex Neil says his side thoroughly deserved their point at Anfield.

"I thought we played well, some teams sit in, which we had to do sometimes, but we offered a threat going forward too. 

"The lads worked very hard and deserved something from the game. We're happy we have come away with a point.

"Football is not just about what you can do with the ball but also about having that never-say-die mentality and doing whatever it takes not to get beat. This group have got that."

Norwich manager Alex Neil praises the performance of goalscorer Russell Martin, who arrived late after the birth of his child.

"He just had a baby boy this morning so he left late night, went to the birth and came back up for the game. Then he produced an excelelnt performance here. I don't think the last 24 hours get much better than that.

"I left it in Russell's hands about whether he was going to play or not. He is the captain of the club and would have said if he had not quite been right for the sake of the team.

"I spoke to him earlier and he said he was ready. I think the adrenaline helped him through."

Tim Ellis: Two points from last four games. Sturridge's inclusion desperate. Anfield fans are fair but I sense change not far away.

Stuart Foster:  Rodgers cannot continue like this, one good season where Suarez made us look good. Time for a change to move forward.

Norwich captain Russell Martin after his equaliser earned a point for the newly-promoted side at Anfield:  "It's an immense effort from all the lads. Our performances all season have been right up there. We have set a standard but we have lads who put a real shift in. We've not got any superstars but a real team.

"The manager has set us certain targets. You can’t just aim to finish 17th. We'll have a go against anyone and maintain the standard and see where it takes us."

Watching back the replays of the Norwich goal, I've only just spotted Russell Martin's heart-warming celebration. New dads either go for the rocking cradle or the sucking of their thumb like a dummy, I'm pleased to report that the Canaries skipper went down the Bebeto route while screaming of a similar pitch to his new-born son.

As the graphic below shows, Liverpool shaded possession and territory but it never felt like a dominant home performance. They huffed and they puffed, but failed to blown down the Norwich goal.

What went wrong for Liverpool? And what went right for Norwich? Simply, the visitors took one of their rare chances, while the home side produced more waste than your local garbage tip. 

Liverpool peppered the away goal with 23 shots, but only managed seven on target.  Norwich had a paltry-by-comparison seven efforts, with only two testing Simon Mignolet. But, yes, we all know that only one statistic matters...

Norwich goalscorer Russell Martin: "I was late for the game as I made it back home last night for the birth of my son.

"Then I shot back up on the plane today with the directors, so it’s a fantastic day and emotional day. 

"Just to score at a place like this is great and it’s an important goal. I'm over the moon and delighted."

ibrahim ismail:  If tomorrow we will not hear of Rodgers sacking then it's clear the Fenway group is not ambitious as I thought.

Max Baggins-Craig:  Norwich deserved a 1-1 no question about it, Liverpool were a mess, a real shambles, Rodgers needs to buck up & fast.

Norwich hero Russell Martin is talking to the media down in the Anfield tunnel - and reveals he arrived late in Merseyside today after dashing home for the birth of his son! The arrival of a child and the equaliser at Anfield. If cheap Danish lagers made dream days...

Norwich are happy campers. The smiling players head over to the Anfield Road End to salute their fans, who head back to East Anglia feeling pretty smug.

Norwich are 11th in the top-flight with eight points from six games, just above Liverpool who are 13th with the same tally.

Indeed it is all over at Anfield. A few jeers from the home stands are drowned out by the huge cheers from the travelling Norwich fans at the final whistle.

Norwich partially clear the corner to Adam Lallana on the edge of the box. The England midfielder's shot is deflected towards goal by Emre Can, but fizzes wide. That must be that...
