Jürgen Klopp paid tribute to Luis Díaz’s strength of character as he awaits confirmation about the release of his kidnapped father after the Colombia forward’s injury-time equaliser saved Liverpool’s blushes against Luton.
A goal from the substitute Tahith Chong looked like giving Luton their first home Premier League win until Díaz headed home a cross from Harvey Elliott in the fifth minute of stoppage time. It was the culmination of a testing week for the 26-year-old with his father still not having been released by kidnappers from the National Liberation Army (ELN) and he unveiled a T-shirt with the message “Libertad Para Papa” (Freedom for Dad) when he scored.
