He is waiting all the time, the whole family is waiting all the time. He trained a few times with us and was then in a good mood and it\u2019s good for him.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The signs from Colombia are rather positive, optimistic but not the one thing we want to hear didn\u2019t happen yet.<\/p>\n<p>How was he emotionally afterwards? After the game, there was no words necessary. We just gave each other a hug, that\u2019s all. You know how he is. Ok, but desperately waiting for the right news.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I understand 100 per cent it\u2019s a nice story.

It [scoring] is a really, really positive thing for him but all the other problems stay the same.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>On the back foot for most of the game, Luton took a shock lead when Ross Barkley drove forward in the 80th minute to release Issa Kabore who passed for Tahith Chong to slide the ball past Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson.<\/p>\n<p>That triggered delirium in the quaint and raucous Kenilworth Road stadium, whose capacity is just over 11,000 and where Luton had managed to register only one previous point this season.<\/p>\n<p>But then up stepped second-half substitute Diaz to leap and convert a Harvey Elliott cross in time added on, revealing an undershirt that read &#8216;freedom For papa&#8217;. A Colombian guerrilla movement has said they will release his father.<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker said: &#8216;It says a lot about Diaz&#8217;s character, his inner strength. Not many people imagine what he&#8217;s going through, we feel his pain but for him it&#8217;s a different level.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Football sometimes in the bad moment can bring joy to someone who is struggling.

We didn&#8217;t play a bad game, we missed some chances. It&#8217;s disappointing to not win but we respected the opponent playing bravely on the pitch.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool were left ruing Darwin Nunez&#8217;s misses. He saw a powerful shot strike the bar in the first half and another sting the gloves of Luton goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski in the second period.<\/p>\n<p>The result left Liverpool third on 24 points, three behind leaders Manchester City.
