‘Devastating football’ – Luis Diaz finishes splendid move as Liverpool come from behind to beat LASK
Luis Diaz rounded off a wonderful team move to sent Liverpool on their way to victory over LASK.
The Reds went 1-0 down early in the first half, but thankfully for Jurgen Klopp's men their quality shone through after the break.
Darwin Nunez equalised with a penalty after Diaz was clattered into by Philipp Ziereis, and the Colombian then put Liverpool ahead on 63 minutes.
The move started with Harvey Elliott playing a ball with the outside of his left boot to find Ryan Gravenberch down the right flank.
The Dutch midfielder then played a perfectly weighted cross into the area where Diaz was ghosting in from the left flank.
With trademark composure, the 26-year-old slammed the ball into the roof of the LASK net, much to ex-Liverpool star Ray Houghton's approval.
He told talkSPORT: «Devastating football, that's top quality from Liverpool.
»It was hit across the six yard box with pace, goalkeeper had no chance, he fell to his knees and knew he could do nothing to keep it out.
«A first class finish from Diaz but a brilliant ball by Gravenberch.»
While Nunez and Diaz set Liverpool on their way, Mohamed Salah rounded off a 3-1 victory after coming off the bench to ensure that Liverpool's Europa League campaign got off to the perfect start on the road.
