Ibrahima Konate opened the scoring early in the first half before Diaz assisted Mane’s teammate for the second goal of the night. However, there was a brief period in which the hosts seemed to be able to turn the game around after Darwin Nunez scored a goal back after the break. It was the Colombian international who later scored the crucial goal to put the game to bed and ensure the Reds get the much-needed two-goal pad back at Merseyside.

The moving moment is another example of how Diaz has settled into the team following his arrival from Porto in the January transfer window. He has already scored three goals for the Reds in all competitions and entered the starting line-up on Tuesday night after resting for the Premier League clash with Watford at the weekend. Asked if Klopp would make further changes to the crucial game against Manchester City on Sunday, Manet said in an interview with BT Sport: “You have to ask the boss! We are Liverpool, we have a deep team. Sometimes We make changes for the benefit of the whole team “. The Senegalese international is in good form after scoring his 15th goal of the season in all competitions, but insists that the result is more important than individual appearances. He added: “As I always say, victory is more important. “I am happy that I scored the goal, but I am happier that the team scored three goals and we are ready for the next game.” Read more related articles Read more related articles
