PL leader Liverpool marches on

NORWICH: With the victory, Liverpool leads the PL table by 25 points. On a windy evening, bottom club Norwich was proving a tough nut to crack for Jurgen Klopp’s team. But Senegalese forward Mane, who came on as a substitute on the hour, pounced to drill home a fine finish from inside the area in the 78th minute.

It was his first appearance since going off injured in Liverpool’s win at Wolverhampton Wanderers on January 23 and he marked it by claiming a 100th goal in English football. A battling Norwich had defended resolutely and twice came close to taking the lead, but Liverpool’s relentless romp towards a first English title for 30 years continued.

15 more points will guarantee it the PL title as it has collected 76 points out of a possible 78, now 25 ahead of second-placed Manchester City (53 points), which has played a game less.
