Luis Diaz accused of 'tremendous elbow' as Liverpool winger involved in flashpoint
Luis Diaz has been accused of a "tremendous elbow" that was deserving of a red card during Colombia's 0-0 draw with Chile.
The Liverpool winger starred for his country in their latest World Cup qualifier, though neither side were unable to find a winning goal during what became a rather cagey contest.
One flashpoint that occurred during the contest involved Diaz, who was booked for an elbow on Diego Valdes, with one outlet of the view the 26-year-old was fortunate to not be dismissed.

In total, five yellow cards were dished out to Colombia while their opponents saw only one player enter the referee's book.
