Another matchday, another Liverpool win seems to be the norm with every passing week in the Premier League. The returning Sadio Mane scored the only goal of the game as Liverpool racked up win No. 25 in the Premier League this season, stretching their unbeaten run in England's top flight to 43 games. Jordan Henderson was the man pulling the strings in the Liverpool midfield at Carrow Road this past weekend. The Liverpool captain had an interesting take on the game in an interview with the media after the win.

Jordan Henderson admits Liverpool are "boring everybody" with perennial focus on the next game

With win no.25 done and dusted, Liverpool will now head to Madrid this week for the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16. Liverpool face Atletico Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano on Tuesday night as they look to retain the Champions League trophy. Back in England, Liverpool now need just five wins from their remaining 12 games to wrap up the Premier League title proceedings. Those five wins could also possibly take them close to equalling Arsenal's record of going unbeaten for 49 Premier League games.
