Alisson injury overshadows Liverpool’s opening spectacle

Team manager Jürgen Klopp and English runners-up FC Liverpool have started the new Premier League season with a clear 4-1 win over Norwich City. The match was overshadowed by an injury to Liverpool’s regular goalkeeper Alisson.

Liverpool’s keeper Alisson had to be replaced in the first run due to injury and Adrian, who only signed on Monday, made his Reds debut. First signs are Alisson’s probably a knee injury.

An own goal from Grant Hanley (7th) put Norwich behind early. Superstar Mohamed Salah (19.), Virgil van Dijk (28.) after corner and Champions League hero Divock Origi (42.) made the decision before the half-time break.

In the second half, the former Schalker Teemu Pukki (64th) scored the honorary goal for the Canaries, after Liverpool had missed other big chances before.

Goalkeeper Ralf Fährmann, who had moved on loan from the Royal Blues to Norwich, sat on the bench for the entire game.

Defending champion Manchester City will play his first league match at West Ham United on Saturday (1.30 pm in SOCCERSCORE live ticker).
