Joe Gomez relished the 'massive honour' of captaining Liverpool as they advanced to round four of the Carabao Cup by beating Norwich City 3-0.
The centre-back was one of nine players brought into the starting line-up at Carrow Road on Tuesday night and was handed the armband for the first time since arriving in 2015.
A brace from Takumi Minamino sandwiched Divock Origi’s 10th goal in the competition for the club to ensure the Reds were victorious on Gomez’s special occasion.
“It was a massive honour,” he told Liverpoolfc.com post-match.
“Obviously after the period I’ve had, the different injuries and coming back, I’m relishing every minute and on top of that, to be able to captain the side was unbelievable.
