Norwich City have exited the League Cup after a 3-0 defeat to Liverpool at Carrow Road which does little to calm the growing nerves around their pointless Premier League start.
Goals from Takumi Minamino and Divock Origi condemned the Canaries to their fifth successive defeat since that thrashing of Bournemouth in the same competition last month, with a double header of Burnley and Everton to come.
Christos Tzolis was branded naive by head coach Daniel Farke after he decided to disobey orders and take the spot-kick before half time. Caoimhin Kelleher was equal to the Greek's international's tame effort.
City supporters have sold out Carrow Road and boos were audible at the full time whistle, although that may be as a result of frustration from their poor start to the season.
Poor defending in key moments cost them once again as Liverpool converted all of their shots on target. City were unable to finish their chances and saw momentum shift in the other direction.
Norwich's dismal record against the Reds continues, with their last win arriving at Anfield in 1994 courtesy of a Jeremy Goss volley.
