The Colombian netted in the extra time, and the Reds avoided an unexpected loss against Luton.

Luton and Liverpool finished 1-1 at Kenilworth Road as both of the goals came late in the match as the home side had a real chance to beat Liverpool, but Luis Diaz saved Klopp’s side with his goal in the 95th minute.

After a goalless 1st half, we had to wait till the 80th minute when Luton shocked Liverpool and took the lead with a goal from Tahith Chong after Issa Kabore’s assist. The Reds were protesting for a penalty when the home side made a counterattack and scored as their goal stood after the away club didn’t receive a penalty.

However, in the extra time, Luis Diaz, whose father was abducted in Colombia, scored a header after Harvey Elliott’s phenomenal pass. Diaz showed a shirt in support of his father after leveling the match in the extra time and helping his side to avoid defeat.

Luton is in 17th place with 6 points after 11 games, while Liverpool is in 3rd place with 24 points after 11 matches.
