November 5th 2023.
It was an emotional afternoon at Kenilworth Road as Luis Diaz came off the bench to score a stoppage time equaliser for Liverpool, rescuing a point in a 1-1 draw with Luton Town.
The Reds predictably dominated the game, but struggled to create clear-cut chances for much of the contest. One great opportunity fell to Darwin Nunez, but he blazed his effort over the bar from inside the six-yard box.
It looked like Tahith Chong's 80th minute goal had secured a stunning victory for Luton Town. The former Manchester United midfielder pounced on a brilliant low cross from Issa Kabore to poke home a memorable opener.
Mohamed Salah had been given offside in the build-up, but replays suggested he had actually been onside - so if Nunez had scored, the goal would likely have stood.
As the minutes ticked away, it seemed like a first Premier League home win for Luton was almost in the bag - but Diaz had other ideas. The Colombian headed in a cross from fellow substitute Harvey Elliott to earn the Reds a point.
After scoring the goal, Diaz revealed a message of support for his father, who is still being held hostage after being kidnapped in Colombia last week. Few would begrudge him his success, given the horrific time he and his family are going through.
The point sees Luton climb out of the relegation zone with six points from 11 games - ahead of Bournemouth on goal difference. Liverpool meanwhile go back into third, behind Manchester City and Tottenham but ahead of Arsenal on goal difference.
