Luis Diaz ended a traumatic week by coming off the bench to save Liverpool from a shocking defeat at Luton, scoring a stoppage-time equalizer in a 1-1 draw in the Premier League on Sunday.
Substitute Tahith Chong looked to have secured a sensational win for promoted Luton when he finished off a superb counterattack by slotting past Alisson 10 minutes from time.
It was Diaz's first appearance for his team since his parents were kidnapped in his native Colombia last weekend. His mother was rescued within hours by police but his father is still missing while negotiations take place. On its first league visit in more than 30 years, Liverpool appeared rocked by a raucous atmosphere inside Kenilworth Road and was never at its free-flowing best against a side that dug in, ground out and waited for their chance.“I think we made it very difficult for ourselves," Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk said.
Darwin Nunez had a slew of chances to score before Luton's goal, with the Uruguay striker striking against the top of the crossbar from Trent Alexander-Arnold’s superb pass from deep in midfield in the first half.
