Norwich City’s Premier League relegation campaign got off to a flying start last night with a crushing 4-1 defeat at unfancied Liverpool.

With just one game gone, Norwich are already proudly propping up the bottom of the Premier League table.

The crowing Canaries looked likely to be thrashed by at least nine goals but the Reds took their foot off the gas in the second half.

Norwich just need to hold on for another 37 games to ensure they return to the Championship, where Ipswich Town will be waiting following promotion from League One.

Football expert Lorraine Fisher, 34, said: “Only this week, Norwich City crowed about their new sponsorship deal with Toilet Plus.

“Well, now it looks like their Premier League campaign has gone down the pan already.”
