Luis Diaz off the mark to cap Liverpool comeback win against Norwich

Luis Diaz scored his first Liverpool goal as the Reds' title challenge remained on track after coming from behind to beat Norwich 3-1 at Anfield.

Victory kept the pressure on leaders Manchester City ahead of their evening kick-off but more significantly it was the momentum it maintained in their pursuit which was crucial.

How significant this result is will only be known come May but it felt like a season-defining moment when Mohamed Salah rolled home a gentle shot in the 67th minute to put the Reds ahead and score his 150th Liverpool goal in the process.

It had been a pivotal four-minute period as Sadio Mane's overhead kick had just levelled things up after Milot Rashica's deflected shot had given the Premier League's 19th-placed side a shock lead.

But it was the brilliance of Salah, becoming only the 10th man to reach 150 goals in the club's history and the second fastest (232 matches) after Roger Hunt (226), which made the difference.

Goalkeeper Alisson Becker's spinning pass out from the back could not have been better judged but the Egyptian still had work to do, drawing Angus Gunn out of his goal, cutting back onto his right foot and then tucking home a shot which wrong-footed the backtracking defenders.

The only surprising thing was that it had taken the Premier League's leading scorer - now with 17 goals this season - so long to find the net having had a scintillating start to the match which left Norwich left-back Brandon Williams not knowing which way to turn.

A maiden goal for January signing Diaz, in only his fourth appearance, nine minutes from time made the result look far more comfortable than it had midway through the second half.
