Proof that Luis Diaz is already loved by Liverpool fans

Luis Diaz continues to do things to win the hearts of Liverpool fans and tonight in the match against Ajax he once again received a standing ovation at Anfield. The Colombian striker was unable to repeat the score he made in the win over Napoli at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium. But he still had a good performance on the pitch which was recognised and he remains one of the best players of the team so far.

Liverpool broke their winless streak with a 2-1 win over Ajax Amsterdam in the second round of the Champions League group stage, which opens the door for them to think about qualifying for the last 16 after the heavy blow they suffered a week ago in Italy, where the team was exposed and doubts were raised about their performance.

The real reason Liverpool's game against Chelsea was called off

Egypt's star striker Mohamed Salah found the net again and could have opened the scoring in the 11th minute with a fine finish. But the Dutch team responded with a goal from Ghanaian striker Mohammed Kudus in the face of defensive lapses by both Trent Alexander Arnold and captain Virgil van Dijk, which suggested it was going to be another difficult night for German coach Jurgen Klopp's side. However, with the game winding down, defender Joel Matip headed the ball into the back of the net to give Liverpool an agonising victory.

Luis Diaz put in an outstanding performance as he had done at Napoli, being involved and making eye-catching moves for the stands. Things got tense in the second half when he angrily complained to team-mate Diego Jota as the Portuguese had the chance to pass the ball to him but did not do so. The Colombian has taken confidence to make himself felt on the pitch and reproached the attacker for his poor decision inside the box.

Luis Díaz's big moment

Luis Diaz's big moment in the match came in the final minutes when German coach Jurgen Klopp decided to replace him with veteran James Milner. All the fans present at Anfield stood up to see him off with applause and shouts of support. This shows that the Colombian striker is already one of the Reds' favourite players and it is hoped that he can take over the role that Senegalese star Sadio Mané had when he was sold in the summer to Bayern Munich.
