Luis Suarez enjoyed another trip to Carrow Road as the Uruguayan bagged a hat-trick in Liverpool's 5-2 win over Norwich.
The Reds striker scored three on his last visit to City last season and he was on song again as the visitors secured a first win of the current Premier League campaign.
Liverpool made the perfect start when Norwich failed to clear a Glen Johnson centre and Suarez took a touch before firing through a defender's legs and past John Ruddy.
Daniel Agger and Steven Gerrard went close to adding a second while Simeon Jackson was denied an equaliser by Pepe Reina before the City striker missed with a wild volley.
Suarez then fluffed his lines when one-on-one with Ruddy but he made amends moments later when he curled in with the outside of his boot (38) after a clever touch to lose his marker.
Robert Snodgrass should have halved the deficit two minutes after the restart when he blazed over from point-blank range and Liverpool netted a third on the counter.
Nuri Sahin side-footed home (47) from a Suarez cross and the latter completed his hat-trick on 56 with another curled effort as the City defence backed off.
Steve Morison (60) pulled one back for the Canaries after Reina failed to hold a Russell Martin shot while Gerrard's (67) deflected effort restored the four-goal cushion before Grant Holt fired in a late consolation.
