Liverpool made a winning start in their Premier League 2019-20 campaign as they scored four first-half goals to down Norwich City 4-1 at Anfield. The Reds, who had finished second last season behind Manchester City, were in devastating form in the first half as they as they demolished their newly-promoted opponents. Liverpool were rewarded for some early attacking pressure as Norwich captain Grant Hanley scored the opening goal of the season when he sliced Divock Origi's cross into his own net. Mohamed Salah opened his account for the season as he netted one from a pass by Roberto Firmino. An unmarked Virgil van Dijk tripled the lead from Salah's corner, while Origi nodded the fourth after a stunning pass by Trent Alexander-Arnold. Norwich came back stronger in the second half and put the Liverpool defence in some awkward positions. It paid off as Teemu Pukki's composed finish reduced the deficit. Liverpool lost Alisson to injury, the Brazil keeper replaced by new signing Adrian after slipping while taking a first-half goal-kick. He will Liverpool's next match on Wednesday, confirmed Jürgen Klopp after the match.
