Takumi Minamino netted twice as Liverpool got the better of fellow Premier League side Norwich City at Carrow Road to reach the Carabao Cup fourth round.

Both managers made nine changes from the weekend’s Premier League matches, with Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp handing debuts to teenagers Kaide Gordon and Conor Bradley from the start – plus Tyler Morton as a substitute.

The visitors led after four minutes as Minamino produced a sharp turn and finish from Divock Origi’s knockdown.

Norwich improved as the opening period wore on but Adam Idah shot directly at Kelleher and Tzolis failed to deliver from the penalty spot after Bradley had fouled Dimitris Giannoulis.

Caoimhin Kelleher denied Norwich an equaliser before half-time, saving Christos Tzolis’ penalty with his foot.

Origi headed in Konstantinos Tsimikas’ cross five minutes after the break and Minamino slotted in a late third.
