Liverpool match verdict as Paul Gorst reports on Premier League fixture away to Luton Town
As the full-time whistle sounded at Kenilworth Road to declare a disappointing draw for Liverpool, Luis Diaz dropped to his hunches.

Perhaps understandably, however, Diaz politely declined the opportunity to speak to the media when asked as he made his exit flanked by Darwin Nunez after the game. "It says a lot about his character and inner strength,” Alisson added post-match. “I can't imagine what he's going through." Diogo Jota also forced the goalkeeper into a good stop from Ryan Gravenberch's threaded pass but it was a below par opening 45 minutes from Klopp's side as they struggled to make their superior quality count against their spirited hosts, who caused problems of their own through Chiedoze Ogbene down the Reds' right.
While the glaring misses against Union Saint-Gilloise and Toulouse in the Europa League were easily brushed aside during comfortable wins, this one will be tougher to dismiss as simply one of those things. These are chances he simply has to take more regularly if he is to truly unlock the very obvious potential. In fairness to Nunez, however, he never hid on an afternoon where plenty of others in the Liverpool team did.
