Liverpool opened up a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League after a hard-fought win at Norwich.<\/p>\n
Second-placed Chelsea had lost on Saturday and the Reds capitalised, with Raheem Sterling arrowing in a long-range shot to put them ahead.<\/p>\n
Luis Suarez guided in a second only for Gary Hooper to slot in for Norwich after keeper Simon Mignolet’s error.<\/p>\n
Sterling scored with a deflected shot before a Robert Snodgrass header gave the Canaries hope but the Reds held on.<\/p>\n
It was a frantic finish at a boisterous Carrow Road and the home side almost salvaged a point only for Mignolet to save a Ricky van Wolfswinkel header.<\/p>\n
Liverpool were given a scare by Norwich but managed to secure an 11th successive league win, which confirms their place in next season’s Champions League, ahead of next Sunday’s home game against Chelsea, a visit to Crystal Palace and a meeting with Newcastle at Anfield.<\/p>\n
