NORWICH, England - Liverpool's Sadio Mane marked his return from injury with a late goal to break Norwich City's resistance and secure a 1-0 win on Saturday to extend his side's Premier League lead to 25 points.
A battling Norwich had defended resolutely and twice came close to taking the lead, but Liverpool's relentless romp towards a first English title for 30 years continued. Norwich, for whom Alexander Tettey struck the woodwork in the second half, remain seven points adrift of 17th-placed Aston Villa who host Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
BIGGEST GAP Liverpool began the match 55 points ahead of Norwich, the biggest ever gap between top and bottom after 25 games in the Premier League, but lacked their usual cutting edge. The second half was a Liverpool siege with keeper Tim Krul saving Norwich on several occasions. The Dutchman produced a fingertip save to keep out Naby Keita's powerful effort then a magnificent double stop to deny Mohamed Salah and Keita again.
