Liverpool keep quadruple dream alive after Minamino double sinks Norwich

Liverpool are into the FA Cup quarter-finals thanks to a 2-1 win over Norwich City at Anfield.

The Reds dominated the opening half and found themselves ahead by two goals at the break, both scored by Takumi Minamino.

Having scored four goals in the Carabao Cup this season, Minamino is proving to be a cup specialist for Liverpool.

The Japan international's first came from close range after being teed up by Divock Origi.

Minamino then made it 2-0 when he fired a terrific strike into the roof of the net after being left unmarked at a corner.

Jurgen Klopp's team gave themselves a nervy finish by allowing Lukas Rupp to strike from outside the box with 13 minutes remaining.

But the hosts held on to book their place in the quarters, keeping alive their quadruple dream following Sunday's Carabao Cup triumph.
