Liverpool Scores Late To Beat Norwich City In Premier League Thriller

Adam Lallana’s last-gasp strike secured a dramatic 5-4 victory for Liverpool over Norwich City at Carrow Road on Saturday afternoon.

The England midfielder netted with virtually the last kick of the game to clinch three points for the Reds, just moments after Sebastien Bassong had leveled for the Canaries in injury-time.

Roberto Firmino had opened the scoring after 18 minutes, finishing neatly across goal from James Milner’s reverse pass inside the area.

Norwich were level just prior to the half-hour when Dieumerci Mbokani netted with a backheel inside the six-yard box after the Reds failed to clear their lines from a corner.

Debutant Steven Naismith fired the home team in front four minutes before the break, drilling beyond Simon Mignolet from Hoolahan’s assist.

Hoolahan then furthered Norwich’s lead from the penalty spot in the early stages of the second half after Alberto Moreno had tripped Naismith inside the box.

Nevertheless, Jordan Henderson immediately reduced the arrears when he hooked in Nathaniel Clyne’s centre and Firmino made it 3-3 when he applied the finishing touch to a sweeping counter.

Milner then put Liverpool back in front, latching on to Robbie Brady’s under-hit back pass and finishing coolly.

But with the game in stoppage-time, Norwich thought they’d rescued a point when Bassong struck low into the back of the net from the edge of the area; however, with one final throw of the dice from the visitors, the ball fell for Lallana, who crashed a half-volley into the turf and over Declan Rudd to send the traveling supporters into ecstasy.
