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.

Luton have more than held their own, and Edwards will be pleased with how his side have played so far. They have created just 0.17 xG, though, compared to 1.05 for Liverpool, so he will be keen for his team to conjure up more of an attacking threat after the interval.

The half-time whistle blows as Luton and Liverpool head back to the changing rooms with the scoreline goalless. Both have had chances, with Nunez going the closest when he struck the bar after Alexander-Arnold's excellent pass picked him out, while Barkley saw a shot saved by Alisson at the other end. Kaminski made a couple of great stops, including a sublime save to deny Jota and ensure the Hatters got into the break at 0-0.
