Norwich, who had taken the lead, had high morale and did not retreat. Instead, they continued to actively fight in an attempt to make persistent efforts and expand the score.
Fortunately, Liverpool was not a weak team that was overtaken, it was just bad luck.
In the remaining minutes of the first half, Liverpool stabilized its defense and did not allow Norwich to score again. Instead, in the 46th minute of stoppage time, Firmino counterattacked and forced Norwich to score. Vicki midfielder Dorrance made a passing error. The ball that was originally intended to be passed to full-back Brady was deflected.
And Willard, who was nearby, reacted immediately and rushed over, grabbing the ball before Brady and passing it to Emre Can. Liverpool took this opportunity to launch a counterattack, and finally Milner came down the right. After cutting inside and passing the ball in an inverted triangle, Villard met the ball at the penalty area line and volleyed the ball successfully into the lower left corner of the goal.
Because Milner cut inside on the right wing, goalkeeper Declan Rudd was positioned a little to the right. He was helpless against Willard's heavy volley and could only watch the ball fly. Enter the network nest.
After all, Liverpool did not go into the halftime break with a lagging score. Instead, Alan Willard scored a wonderful volley at the end of the first half, helping Liverpool level the score at 2. -2 flat.
This goal itself was already in the 46th minute of stoppage time. Therefore, after Willard and his teammates finished celebrating, Norwich kicked the ball out of the center circle and before the attack could advance into the Liverpool penalty area, the referee Mason The whistle ended the first half and the two sides entered the halftime break with a score of 2-2.
Despite leveling the score late in the first half, Liverpool's players were scolded by Klopp at half-time for being somewhat lax after scoring the first goal in the first half.
"This is the Premier League, the most competitive league in the world, not some other second or third tier league."
"You only scored one goal and thought you could relax. As a result, Norwich pulled two goals in a row. Are you ashamed?"
"Had it not been for Velarde's goal at the end of injury time, you would still be trailing."
"Pep me up for the second half."
“You are not allowed to let your guard down without taking a lead of more than two goals.”
Soon, the intermission was over and the game continued in the second half.
After the lessons learned in the first half and Klopp's reprimand at halftime, no one in Liverpool dared to take it lightly in the second half. Both offense and defense gave 100% of their attention.
After all, Norwich's overall strength is not as good as Liverpool's. After Liverpool showed a 100% serious attitude, Norwich had nothing to do.
In the 55th minute, although it was Norwich's attack after they got the ball, the attack did not get within 30 meters of Liverpool's goal. In the midfield, Willard and Henderson jointly forced the ball away. , Liverpool launched a quick counterattack.
Soon, Firmino received a pass from Jordan Ibe on the wing with his back to the goal in the penalty area. He could not turn around and shoot, but did not want to waste the opportunity, so he decisively passed the ball back to Hender who was inserted in the back row. Sen made a ball.
Originally, Velarde and Henderson moved forward together, but the Norwich defenders may have thought that Velarde was a greater threat. Two people rushed towards Velarde before Firmino passed the ball. Passed by to prevent him from catching the ball and shooting.
Unexpectedly, Firmino did not pass the ball back to Velarde, but instead gave Henderson a good ball.
Henderson stepped in from the back row, rushed to the right area of the top of the penalty area, received the ball from Firmino, and shot without stopping the ball, which was of extremely high quality. Norwich defender Russell Martin in the penalty area tried to fly to block the hole of the gun, but missed the ball and the ball flew over his calf.
Although goalkeeper Declan Rudd made a save, Henderson's shot was excellent, not only with great power and speed, but also with a tricky angle.
Declan Rudd's save failed to touch the ball, which flew past his fingertips and into the goal against the right post.
Liverpool finally rewritten the score to 3-2 again and regained the lead.
The Red Army fans at the scene and in front of the TV can finally celebrate excitedly. The home team Norwich fans were quite disappointed.
They thought this was a thrilling reversal, but unexpectedly they were reversed again by the Red Army Liverpool.
It may be more difficult to reverse Liverpool's victory again.
Sure enough, the next game was as expected. Liverpool, who went all out, basically gave Norwich no more decent opportunities.
Liverpool, on the other hand, used their strong offensive group and Willard's organization to constantly threaten Norwich's defense and even the goal.
After more than ten minutes of back-and-forth, Norwich's defense failed again in the 72nd minute.
This time it was full-back Alberto Moreno who suddenly stepped in to assist. He worked with Henderson and Velarde for two consecutive hits and then made a cross. However, his pass was not an air ball but a ground ball.
Firmino's flying tackle from the front point failed, but it attracted the attention of the defender and goalkeeper. As a result, neither side could touch the ball, and the ball rolled to the back point.
Milner, who was at the back, rushed over and easily pushed the ball into the goal from 3 meters in front of the goal.
Liverpool expanded the score to 4-2, basically sealing the victory.
However, even so, Liverpool did not celebrate grandly. After all, the lessons of the first half are still fresh in our minds, and the warnings and reprimands from head coach Klopp are still in our ears.
It turns out that football is indeed round. Although Norwich is not as strong as Liverpool, they are lucky.
In the 79th minute, Norwich got a corner kick from midfielder Howson's long shot from outside the penalty area during a counterattack. Then, in the corner kick attack, Norwich center back Basson, who stepped forward to participate in the battle for the top, overpowered Liverpool center back Kolo Toure to grab the first point, flicked his head and hit the goal, leveling the score to 3-4.
Norwich players and fans saw hope again. They substituted two players in a row in the last ten minutes and continued to strengthen their attack, trying to score another goal before the end of the game and equalize the score.
For Norwich, who need points to avoid relegation, even one point is quite precious.
Fortunately, Liverpool didn't give them a chance when they got serious. Norwich didn't score again until the end of the game.
