HT: LIVERPOOL 1-0 NORWICH
Liverpool enter the break with one less goal thanks to a clever early end from Takumi Minamino.
The home side should be tied but Christos Tzolis was awarded a penalty by Caoimhin Kelleher a few minutes before the break.
Daniel Farke will be encouraged, however, by how his team has evolved in the game, and there is still a lot to play in this one.
Remember that if the scores are equal at full time, the tie will go straight to a shootout.

43. After a period of calm, the game suddenly comes to life!
The penalty came after Kelleher could only parry a long-distance effort on the way to Giannoulis.
The Norwich man placed his body between the ball and Gordon, and the Liverpool man awkwardly dropped him.
Kelleher, however, saved the penalty from Tzolis, which was bad at the center.
He broke in Idah, but a brilliant block from Gomez deprived the Canaries of a comeback in the game.
