Liverpool set surprising new record under Klopp after FA Cup win over Norwich

Liverpool eased past Norwich for the fourth time this season to progress to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, although they did have a late scare at Anfield.

The Reds held on to win 2-1 thanks to a double from Takumi Minamino in the first half, but Jurgen Klopp's side missed chances to extend their lead before Lukas Rupp pulled back a consolation goal.

It was a game that Liverpool were always expected to win, and they are well on their way to potentially winning another trophy after lifting the Carabao Cup on Sunday.

But despite the odds being in their favour, Liverpool did set a new record under Klopp, which may come as a surprise.

Klopp arrived at Liverpool in 2015, and has since gone on to win the Premier League, Champions League, and now the German has a Carabao Cup to his name.

But Klopp has never won the FA Cup, and the Liverpool boss has never even got close, as this is the first time that the German has made it to the quarter-finals of the competition.

Liverpool have notoriously bowed out early in the competition under Klopp, with the German previously setting his sights on league and European success, but this season he is eyeing up every trophy in sight.

In what will be Klopp's first ever FA Cup quarter-final, he faces the prospect of being drawn against one of Man City, Crystal Palace, Middlesbrough, Chelsea, Southampton, Nottingham Forest/ Huddersfield Town and Everton /Boreham Wood, and they are one of the heavy favourites to go all the way.

HAVE YOUR SAY! Will Jurgen Klopp lead Liverpool to FA Cup glory this season? Comment below.

Klopp has won the German equivalent of the competition previously, as he led Borussia Dortmund to the league and cup double during the 2011/12 season.

But it's the only trophy that he is yet to win at Liverpool, and Reds fans will be hoping that he can emulate his double success at Anfield this season.

Liverpool have started to apply the pressure to Manchester City who were sitting comfortably at the top of the Premier League, but after they lost 3-2 at home to Tottenham there is a sense of panic at the Etihad.

The Reds are just six points behind the league leaders, but they have a game in hand on City, as well as still having to play them once more before the end of the season.

Liverpool are flying in the Champions League too, as their 2-0 win away at Inter Milan in the first leg continued their flawless streak, making them the only side in the competition to win all of their seven matches thus far.

It's all coming together under Klopp this season and despite previously winning the Premier League and Champions League, the German's current squad may be the best one yet.

But they can wrap up total success with an FA Cup victory, and they will find out who awaits them in the quarter-final before Everton take on Boreham Wood on Thursday.
