Goalscorer unveils T-shirt in support of kidnapped fatherKlopp on Díaz’s response: ‘It’s wonderful – no words necessary’
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.
