Step back to February 5, 1994 and relive Norwich City's home game against Liverpool FC with these old photos from our archive.

A few days earlier the Canaries exited the FA Cup after losing to Manchester United at Carrow Road (0-2) and they hoped to turn things around against the Reds.

City striker Chris Sutton hounded the Liverpool back four and scored a brace.

Sutton's 11th-minute opener was his 19th goal of the season, which he rounded off nicely to a tally of 20 later at the 63rd minute.

Ian Culverhouse earned a spot on the scoresheet as well, but with an own goal when he slid home an effort from the visitor's Ian Rush.

John Barnes equalised for the opponents not long after.

A frustrating day ended with Bryan Gunn leaving the pitch a minute from time, after receiving a second yellow for handling an attempted lob by Steve McManaman well outside his area.
