Liverpool comfortably eased past Norwich City in their opening Premier League game of the season with a dominant 3-0 win away from home last Saturday.The Reds fielded a strong lineup as Virgil van Dijk made his much-anticipated return to help Liverpool keep a clean-sheet against the Canaries.Norwich City started as the brighter of the two teams, but Liverpool’s quality came through.
