FA Cup Live - Liverpool v Norwich: Reds put five past Norwich in front of an emotional Anfield

Liverpool are through to the fifth round of the FA Cup after beating a spirited Norwich 5-2 with a dominant display in front of an emotional Anfield.

In their first match since Jurgen Klopp announced his decision to leave the club this summer, the home fans were in full voice, awash with banners celebrating the German's many achievements.

And true to Klopp's unrelenting style, Liverpool pressed the Canaries from the off, forcing an opener after 15 minutes as Curtis Jones volleyed home James McConnell's cross.

Norwich grabbed an equaliser just six minutes later as Ben Gibson shouldered home a Gabriel Sara corner, but Liverpool restored their lead in no time as Darwin Nunez swept home inside the box.

After the interval, Dioga Jota got in on the action after capitalising on a wayward header from Gibson, before substitute Virgil van Dijk made it four with a bullet header.

Norwich substitute Borja Sainz pulled one back with a brilliant long-range strike to give them a moment of hope, but they couldn't reel in a Reds side that looked full of confidence and energy in front of their outgoing boss, with Ryan Gravenberch rounding off a fine display in injury time.

Liverpool will play either Watford or Southampton in the fifth round, with a replay required to separate those two sides after a 1-1 draw earlier on Sunday.

That's that, Liverpool are through to the fifth round where they will play either Southampton or Watford.

It was a big, high-energy performance from a Liverpool side full of form. It could have been more than five, and Norwich will be glad to have gotten two.

That's just mean.

Liverpool grab a fifth at the very end through Ryan Gavenberch who pings another header past Long. Tough day for the 'keeper.

Robertson is still trying to make things happen at the death here, but is in swinging cross is poked clear by McLean.

Great defending.

Any more goals in this one?

Van Dijk is lurking again but this time Norwich crowd him out well. That's how it's done!

This is exactly the kind of chaotic, high-energy game we'd expect from a club who are about to lose their chaotic, high-energy manager.

Great stuff.

Jota looks like he has a second and Liverpool's fifth, but the Canaries get a lot of bodies behind the ball to stop that from happening.

Keep it respectable guys! It's only 4!

Gravenberch thinks he's scored here but Long makes a brilliant stop to prevent a Liverpool fifth.

Great goalkeeping

The youngster has had a very fine debut here, but he makes way for Diaz after picking up a knock.

Norwich having a go here and Sam McCallum fancies his chances. He sends a ball into the area from a deep throw in but the Reds clear.

Well, not really, but imagine if Norwich got the next one...in for a thriller?

Wait a second...

What a goal this is from Sainz! The substitute picks it up in the middle of the park, in acres of space, takes a touch, and whacks one past Alisson.

It's a brilliant goal but they gave him so much time there. He's still a professional footballer guys!

Norwich are up against a very emotional and very excitable Anfield here. Everyone wants a go.

They need to keep this from becoming a cricket score now.

The substitute grabs a fourth, and that really is game over.

Szoboszlai pings in a corner and Van Dijk meets it with a trademark bullet header.

Big confidence from Barnes here who tries to catch Alisson out from inside his own half, but the Brazilian collects the lofted effort without any trouble at all.

He's basically gifted the Reds possession there,

That's his final contribution as Norwich make a trio of changes here, with Sainz, Ida and Sorensen on for Hernandez, Barnes and Hanley.

Norwich have tried to push Liverpool up the pitch there but they've been caught badly on the break and the best teams will absolutely punish you.

That's a scary bench.

Van Dijk and Robertson are on for Gomez and Konate.

Szoboszlai is also on for Jones. Big changes, Van Dijk takes the armband.

Game over?

Gibson gets himself in a muddle and Jota pounces on a loose ball. bang, right corner.

Jota has threatened all afternoon and he doesn't miss from there. Liverpool have a third and that might be curtains for Norwich.

Great effort and Norwich almost grab an equaliser!

Sara goes for goal from distance and sees his effort fly just wide of the post.
