 Norwich equalized from a corner with Ben Gibson's header but the home side regained the lead just before halftime as Núñez capitalized on a Norwich turnover. 

Defensive lapses from Norwich continued, and Diogo Jota, exploiting a Norwich mistake, scored a fine third.

Liverpool substitutes combined for a fourth goal, with Virgil van Dijk heading in from Dominik Szoboszlai's corner. Despite Norwich's best efforts, The Reds emerged 5-2 winners to advance.
