After a goalless 1^st half, we had to wait till the 80^th 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.
