Liverpool forward Luis Diaz has been described as a “real livewire” by Danny Murphy during the Reds’ win on Wednesday night.
Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool charges came from behind to run out 4-1 winners over Luton Town in their Premier League encounter at Anfield.
Liverpool fell behind in the 12th minute after Tahith Chong’s effort came off Caoimhin Kelleher and into the path of Chiedozie Ogbene, who nodded home from close range.
The Reds remained a goal down at the break but quickly turned the game around before the hour mark.
Liverpool’s comeback got under way in the 56th minute when Virgil van Dijk lost his marker to head the hosts level from Alexis Mac Allister’s corner.
Then, just two minutes later, the Argentina international was the architect again as he delivered the ball for Cody Gakpo to nod home.
Diaz then put Liverpool out of reach on 71 minutes, getting the better of Teden Meghi and finally finding the back of the net.
It was a just reward for the 27-year-old, who had been plugging away all evening in a bid to get on the scoresheet.
At half-time, Murphy said on Premier League Productions, via the Premier League website: “[Luis Diaz] has been a real livewire and has been Liverpool’s most likely [goalscorer].
“He wasted a good early opportunity to calm everyone down, and had he taken one of his chances it would have given Liverpool a nice base to build from.”
Luckily, Diaz’s wasted chances didn’t come back to haunt Liverpool.
The Reds went on to turn the game around in the second half, before Diaz finally found the back of the net to put the game out of Luton’s reach.
The cherry on top came right at the end of the match, Harvey Elliott also netting to give Liverpool a resounding and resilient win.
The result puts Liverpool four points clear at the top of the Premier League table ahead of the Carabao Cup final with Chelsea on Sunday.
