Norwich City boss Daniel Farke admitted some frustration after their 4-1 defeat at Liverpool on Friday night.
Norwich captain Grant Hanley scored the opening goal of the top-flight season when he sliced Divock Origi's cross into his own net before Mohamed Salah opened his account after a pass by Roberto Firmino.
German midfielder Marco Stipermann forced a fine save by Reds keeper Alisson before an unmarked Virgil van Dijk headed the third from Salah's corner, Origi nodding the fourth after a stunning pass by Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Teemu Pukki's composed finish reduced the deficit after Liverpool lost Alisson to injury, the Brazil keeper replaced by new signing Adrian after slipping while taking a first-half goal-kick.
Farke said, "We're disappointed. We were greedy, we wanted to be the first team in two-and-a-half years to win here.
"But I'm totally in love with this team. The mentality to win the second half in front of an excited home crowd, we showed great character.
"No-one wanted to hear it at half-time, but I told them we had the same possession and had created more chances. Liverpool had scored four though.
"It was tough to take but I felt we were not too far away from a good result."
