Pep Lijnders on developing and progressing young Liverpool talent

Liverpool progressed into the Carabao Cup fourth round with a 3-0 victory at Norwich after Takumi Minamino hit a brace and Caoimhin Kelleher denied Christos Tzolis from the penalty spot in the first half at Carrow Road.

The all-Premier League clash had the caveat of both clubs making wholesale changes, 18 in total, and one of those Minamino fired the Reds ahead inside four minutes.

Jurgen Klopp’s side almost conceded before the break when the Canaries forced a spot-kick, but Kelleher came to the rescue and Divock Origi’s first goal in 12 months was followed by a second for Minamino to clinch the win. Relive all the action live below:

Norwich 0 - 2 Liverpool

66 mins: Giannoulis and Bradley come together in the middle of the pitch and the Norwich wingback lands awkwardly. He gets a looking over but looks okay to continue.

Jurgen Klopp makes another change bringing Andy Robertson on for Kostas Tsimikas.

63 mins: Chance! Andrew Omobamidele makes a mess of a long ball and allows Origi to take control of it on the left wing. He slots it neatly into the box where Gordon waits. He goes for goal on the half-volley but doesn’t get over the top of the shot and spoons his chance over the goal.

Norwich 0 - 2 Liverpool

57 mins: Norwich are fighting hard to win the ball in midfield but Liverpool are very composed in possession. Oxlade-Chamberlain makes another decent run with the ball before firing off a shot from around 25-yards. It takes a deflection on the way through and goes out for another Liverpool corner.

GOAL! Norwich 0 - 2 Liverpool (Origi, 50’)⚽️

50 mins: It took four minutes in the first half and five in the second. Norwich will be kicking themselves over their two big missed chances now. Liverpool work the ball out to Tsimikas on the left. He runs it to the byline and the floats a cross ito the six-yard box. Origi is positioned in the middle of the centre-backs and the ball comes perfectly to him. He jumps and guides it away from Gunn and into the far side of the net. Good finish from the striker.

Norwich 0 - 1 Liverpool

48 mins: Huge chance! Conor Bradley makes another mistake by getting caught on the ball. Norwich send it into the box for Tzolis but he misses the chance to shoot. The ball rolls to Pierre Lees-Melou and he blasts his effort well over the crossbar. He needs to hit the target there! Norwich should be level.
