Liverpool 4-1 Norwich City: 3 Talking Points as Reds get their season underway in style

#2 Divock Origi shines in Mane's absence

Liverpool FC v Norwich City - Premier League

Sadio Mane was reserved to a role on the bench owing to the lack of match fitness and Divock Origi was chosen to deputize for him on the left-wing.

The Belgian, fresh from his heroics in the Champions League last season, produced a lively display and spurred Liverpool on to a comfortable victory.

The 24-year-old was chosen to spearhead the attack alongside Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino and the Liverpool trio wreaked havoc in the first half against a hapless Norwich side.

Origi's cross was deflected into his own net by Norwich skipper Grant Hanley and Liverpool capitalized on the early goal to build a resounding lead going into the break.

The forward also got his name on to the score-sheet as he got on the end of a brilliant delivery from Trent Alexander-Arnold, capping off a wonderful performance.

Origi will look to capitalize on his early-season momentum and make useful contributions this season, much like he did so last time around as Liverpool are involved in as many as six competitions between now and the end of the season.
