Kenny Dalglish named striker Bellamy for his first Premier League start since rejoining the club from Manchester City, with recovered captain Steven Gerrard
continuing in midfield. Paul Lambert kept faith with the side that beat Swansea a week previously, with Canaries skipper Holt forced to continue to settle for the bench.Finally at Liverpool, the big No9 was sent on from the bench to save his side's afternoon with the sort of powerful header in front of the Kop that would have made anyone from Tony Hateley to John Toshack proud.

Unfortunately for Anfield, it was not Andy Carroll. He only got on for the last 10 minutes and was just a spectator as the dramatic events unfolded. Norwich's Grant Holt, formerly of Barrow and Workington, was the second-half substitute who earned his side a notable point with his 55th goal for the club in 100 games. Liverpool could, and really should, have had the game wrapped up after creating a succession of chances, almost all of which fell to the normally deadly Luis Suárez. But the Uruguayan had an off day, while the more limited Norwich striker made the most of what little came his way.Liverpool lost ground on the top four as they were held to a draw by Norwich City at Anfield.
Kenny Dalglish's side hit the woodwork three times among several other chances but had only Craig Bellamy's late first-half goal against his former club to show for their efforts.
They were punished on the hour when Grant Holt headed home just three minutes after coming off the bench.
