Liverpool kicked off their 2019/20 Premier League campaign with a comfortable 4-1 win over Norwich City on Friday night.

The game was the first time that the Reds had played a competitive fixture since claiming their sixth European Cup back in June.

Goals from Mo Salah and Divock Origi handed the Reds a 2-0 win over Tottenham in Madrid, and as a result of the victory, it has now enabled Jurgen Klopp's side to touch the 'This is Anfield' sign as they head out of the tunnel.

The German had initially forbidden his players from touching the iconic sign until they have claimed a piece of silverware.

Speaking in 2016, Klopp said: "I've told my players not to touch the 'This Is Anfield' sign until they win something.

"It's a sign of respect. I touched it when I was manager of Borussia Dortmund but we lost 4-0."

But despite now being able to following their win at Atletico Madrid's Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, many of the squad stuck to their usual routine.

Only captain Jordan Henderson, who could already touch the sign after winning the League Cup with the Reds back in 2012, and Georginio Wijnaldum opted to reach up as they made their way out of the tunnel on Friday night.

The rest of Liverpool's starting XI, including Klopp, all opted against touching the iconic sign.

But Wijnaldum was clearly delighted to do so, with the Dutchman taking to social media after the game to highlight the moment he could finally lay his hand on the sign.

The former Newcastle United man wrote on Instagram: "Boss wouldn't let us tough the sign until we won a trophy...now is the time. #ThisIsAnfield."

The Reds are back in action on Wednesday night when they take on Chelsea in the UEFA Super Cup at Vodafone Park in Istanbul.
