    Norwich 0-2 Liverpool

    Kostas Tsimikas takes far too long to clear the ball just inside his area and Pierre Lees-Melou robs it off him.

    Lukas Rupp follows it up but fires the shot over the bar.

    James Milner comes straight across to Tsimikas and gives him a telling off. The Greek gives the old puppy eyes to his skipper.

    Oops.

    Roberto Firmino

    It's a gift for Roberto Firmino, who has only been on a matter of minutes!

    Mohamed Salah picks up the loose ball in the box, slides it across the middle and Firmino is completely unmarked as he taps it in.

    "Si Senor" rings out from the away fans.

    Lovely stuff from Billy Gilmour, who picks out Max Aarons with a long diagonal pass.

    He lays it off to Todd Cantwell for a one-two but Kostas Tsimikas gets a foot in.

    Adam Hislop: Cantwell’s tackle on Jota should just be a straight red. When it is so deliberate with no hope of winning the ball. I don’t care where it is on the pitch.

    Alan Ferguson: When a foul is that blatant surely have to consider a red.

    Scott Allen-Johns: Things we've learned from matchweek 1... the newly promoted teams aren't just here to make up the numbers, they've got fight in them. Also, this is gonna be another great and interesting season.

    Todd Cantwell gifts it to Diogo Jota, who then goes on a mazy run from his own half, past three defenders before Cantwell lunges in cynically from behind. He takes a yellow and Liverpool have a free-kick just outside the box.
