Abstract: Let $G$ be a non-abelian finite simple group. A famous result of Liebeck and Shalev is that there is an absolute constant $c$ such that whenever $S$ is a non-trivial normal subset in $G$ then $S^k=G$ for any integer $k$ at least $ccdot(log|G|/log|S|)$. This result is generalized by showing that there exists an absolute constant $c$ such that whenever $S_1,ldots,S_k$ are normal subsets in $G$ with $pro{d}_{i=1}^k|S_i|geq{|G|}^c$ then $S_{1}cdots{S}_k=G$.
