Luis Diaz returned to the Liverpool squad and scored off the bench to secure a 1-1 draw at Luton Town on Sunday.
The Colombian had missed the past few matches after the shocking kidnapping of his parents, but opted to make his comeback - and duly netted deep into stoppage time to seal a point, after Tahith Chong’s late goal looked to have claimed a famous win for the Hatters.
A point apiece keeps Luton in the bottom three and lifts Liverpool to third, ahead of Arsenal.
During the match one fan was removed from the pitch for running on waving a Palestine flag, shortly after Luton had scored their opener.
