NORWICH, England – Sadio Mane ensured Liverpool went 25 points clear at the top of the Premier League by securing a 1-0 victory at Norwich on Saturday.

Mane returned from injury by coming off the bench in the second half and brought down Jordan Henderson’s long ball before netting at the near post in the 78th minute.

Liverpool remains unbeaten in its quest to end a 30-year title drought and has now won 25 out of 26 games in the league.
