The latest signing by the boss hopes to follow in the footsteps of Luis Diaz, who is 149 goals behind Mohamed Salah.
His goal was created by a Jordan Henderson pass and followed by strikes from Sadio Mane and Mo Salah.
No-one could have predicted when he scored the first goal that he would score 149 more in a short time.
Hopefully Luis can use his first goal the same way.
Since joining the Reds, he has won three major tournaments. He has a reputation so strong that he has his own waxwork at Madame Tussauds.
In acknowledging his achievement, the Egyptian said he was happy and proud to find the net.
One of only 10 players to reach 150 goals for the Reds, and outstanding, is Mo Salah.
He had a great game today. I told them not to force it at half-time. The first touch was crazy. It was a perfect game to score the 150th.
The 25-year-old has a lot to do to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors, but he was praised by the manager for staying in the game as the Reds made changes to their system and faced up to being behind.
The first half was hard for offensive players as we played a new set-up.
You have to work through this period. That is what he did. Everyone knows that the first goal is an important goal. In the second half he was 100% in the game for counter-pressing moments, really good stuff with the ball and an outstanding goal, so I am really happy for him.
The new signing has been brilliant since joining, according to the captain.
Henderson said that he can see that he has quality when one versus one.
The run makes the goal. It is easy to play the pass when he makes the run. I should be thanking him because it was a great finish.
In 39 matches this season, the Reds reached 100 goals, which is the first time in the history of the league that a club has reached that mark.
Their win over the Canaries was their eighth in a row in all competitions and followed their success at Inter Milan in the first leg of their last-16 tie.
Roberto Firmino will be out for a while due to a muscle injury, while Diogo Jota could return for the Carabao Cup final.
The German said that they have to keep the boys fit and create a spirit like the boys did today.
The game can look completely different when we have moments. Three days ago, the game changed when we brought good players on from the bench, because these boys just don't give up.
