Premier League: Sadio Mane Delivers Victory For Liverpool At Norwich City
As it is presently, Liverpool are on a breeze through to lifting the Premier League trophy for the first time since 1989/90, but they could not get the winning goal easily against Norwich City until Sadio Mane got the job done despite coming off the bench in the second half.
The Senegalese forward came in as a sub for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain just on an hour of play, and that was followed with the winning goal in just 18 minutes later. Coincidently, that happened to be his 100th goal in all competitions since he moved to the Premier League in 2014 from Red Bull Salzburg.
Norwich desperately needed at least a point from the game as they are in a struggle to come out of the relegation zone and held Reds to goalless run until Jordan Henderson lobbed the ball through to Mane and he slammed down the bottom right of the post in the 78th minute.

Liverpool, as a result of the win, gained a 25-point lead over Manchester City in their quest for the Premier League title that will bring their 30-year long league title-drought to an end.
To emerged as this season's champions, Reds are just fifteen points away from clinching the trophy and that will bring the title won under Jurgen Klopp to a total four. They won their first-ever Champions League title since 2004/05 last season and added to that the UEFA Super Cup, and then last December, they defeated Flamengo to win the Club World Cup in Saudi Arabia.
