Daniel Farke has rejuvenated Norwich City and restored them to the pinnacle of English football but the Canaries had to come to terms with the ruthless reality of the Premier League.

The newly promoted side looked bright in the opening exchanges and took the game to the European Champions, proving that they more than belong in the top-flight.

Despite creating a host of early chances, the Canaries were dealt with a sucker-punch as they went behind courtesy of an own goal.

Norwich could have thrown a spanner into Liverpool works early on in the game but they were made to pay for their missed opportunities.

Although the 4-1 scoreline paints a grim picture, Daniel Farke's men can take heart from their performance as they went toe to toe with Liverpool in the opening exchanges.

Teemu Pukki's well taken goal was a sign that they looked the part in the Premier League and Norwich can build on their spirited performance if they take on board the shortcoming from their opening day encounter.
