Mohamed Salah scored his 150th goal for Liverpool and Luis Díaz opened his account as the Reds came from behind to beat Norwich City 3-1 at Anfield.
Jurgen Klopp’s side were left stunned when Milot Rashica’s deflected strike put Premier League strugglers Norwich in front in the 48th minute.
But two goals in the space of three minutes spared the second-placed side’s blushes, with Sadio Mane equalizing through an acrobatic volley before Alisson’s brilliant assist set the prolific Salah up to reach yet another milestone.
Recent signing Diaz sealed an eighth successive win for Merseyside club, which moved them six points behind leaders Manchester City ahead of their clash with Tottenham later on Saturday
Rashica had the ball in the back of the Liverpool net early on, but strayed offside before Kostas Tsimikas missed a good chance at the other end, failing to hit the target sliding in to meet Salah’s cross.
Teemu Pukki wasted a glorious chance to put the Canaries in front when he dragged a left-foot shot wide from inside the penalty area with only Alisson to beat after Angus Gunn palmed away Virgil van Dijk’s downward header.
Liverpool dictated the play and Salah had a header cleared off the line by the alert Mathias Normann as Norwich defended tenaciously in a goalless first half, which also saw Van Dijk have a goal disallowed as the linesman’s flag was up.
It was Dean Smith’s side who sensationally drew first blood just after the break, when Rashica’s drive from just outside the area struck Joel Matip’s leg and flashed past a wrong-footed Alisson.
Klopp introduced Thiago Alcantara and Divock Origi just after the hour-mark and Mane equalised soon after with a brilliant overhead kick from close range after Tsimikas nodded headed across goal.
Salah then raced clear after controlling Alisson’s accurate long ball with a great touch and turned sharply to outfox Gunn before calmly slotting home with his right foot.
Diaz put the icing on the cake nine minutes from time, dinking over Gunn with his left foot after Jordan Henderson picked him out with a sublime pass.
