City loses to Norwich, Liverpool remains top of the table

The Reds won 3-1 (2-1) against Newcastle United, while champions Manchester City surprisingly fumbled 2-3 (1-2) against newly promoted Norwich City, coached by Daniel Farke.

Champions League winners Liverpool, managed by team manager Jürgen Klopp, are already well ahead of their rivals Manchester (15) with 10 points in the young season. “After 25 minutes I was able to enjoy the game. After conceding the goal, we needed another 15 minutes to get into the flow of the game. After that we scored two wonderful goals,” said Klopp.
