Liverpool find their first win against Norwich

   Liverpool beat Norwich city 5-2 to secure their first win in 6 games after a frustrating start. Suarez scored his second hat trick in the EPL and also against Norwich City.
   
     Liverpool started with three changes from the team against Manchester United last week. Nuri Sahin replaced Jonjo Shelvey, Wisdom came in for Injured Kelly and Suso replaced Borini. Luis Suarez opened the scoring in just 64 sec, before adding another just before the break to give Brendan Rodgers' side a comfortable lead at half-time.
      
     The Uruguayan set up Nuri Sahin for a tap-in and Suarez curled in shot for his hat-trick before Steve Morison drove in an effort for the home side.Steven Gerrard's deflected strike added Liverpool's fifth, while Grant Holt angled in a shot for a late home goal.
     It is the second hat-trick Suarez has scored at Carrow Road in consecutive seasons and was the culmination of a Liverpool display in which they had passed and purred their way to victory.The "ole"'s were ringing out from the Reds fans towards the end of the game and, while an inspired Suarez will rightly steal the headlines, 18-year-old playmaker Suso also caught the eye. He was making his first Premier League start along with right-back Andre Wisdom.

   Liverpool, like Norwich, had argued that their performances had not been reflected in results but neither side could have any such complaints after a game in which the Canaries succumbed to their dominant visitors.The home side did not help themselves with the type of poor defending which led to Liverpool's opener.Canaries centre-back Michael Turner could only clear Glen Johnson's pass to Suarez and he clinically drilled a shot into the bottom corner.
    The visitors were swarming all over the home side, but Simeon Jackson had a chance to provide Norwich with a lifeline.He met a cross to the far post with a first-time shot only for Reds keeper Pepe Reina to smartly save.Jackson also volleyed wide for Norwich and an equaliser would have given Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers another reason to complain to referees' chief Mike Riley again as, earlier on, Suarez was denied a penalty following a clumsy Leon Barnett challenge.
    Gerrard had a header saved before Suarez should have had his second when he was clean through on goal only to put his effort wide.The Liverpool striker quickly made amends as he caught a napping Turner in possession and curled a shot past keeper John Ruddy with the outside of his foot.
