Jurgen Klopp celebrates with this players after Liverpool beat Norwich 5-4.

A topsy-turvy nine-goal thriller saw Liverpool beat Norwich City in quite a frantic clash with some amazing celebrations at the end. Things started off well for Liverpool as they took the lead courtesy a Roberto Firmino goal but some pedestrian defending handed back reins of the match to the home side. Norwich equalised through Dieumerci Mbokani, following which goals from Steven Naismith and Wes Hoolahan put them 3-1 ahead.

It was while staring at defeat that Klopp’s side found its steel and fighting spirit as they went up 4-3 through goals from Jordan Henderson, Roberto Firmino and James Milner. Just when it looked as if three points were in the bag for Liverpool, a screamer from Sebastien Bassong put Norwich back on level terms.

The story did not end there and had a fairytale finish for Klopp's side as Adam Lallana scored in the fifth minute of added time to win it for Liverpool. Klopp’s celebration following that goal symbolised what the win meant for the Reds and showed how his side can do anything but give up.
