168 Darwin Nunez and Virgil van Dijk have both sent messages to Luis Diaz after Liverpool’s dramatic late win at Nottingham Forest yesterday.
The Reds rode their luck at times at the City Ground as Caoimhin Kelleher produced an excellent stop to deny Anthony Elanga in the first half.
Former Liverpool man Divock Origi also went close in the first half and Elanga had an effort whistle past the post in the second period.
Despite giving away plenty of chances at their end, Liverpool also created their fair share of opportunities.
Darwin Nunez proved to be the hero as he came off the bench to head home a 99th-minute winner. But a couple of chances also fell the way of Luis Diaz, who looked bright on the day but was unable to provide a finishing touch in the final third.
Despite missing a decent opportunity in the second half after a neat give-and-go with Alexis Mac Allister, Diaz has impressed his teammates Nunez and Virgil van Dijk.
Nunez and Van Dijk amazed by Diaz display
Diaz took to Instagram after yesterday’s win to express his delight at picking up three points on the road.
He wrote: “Fighting til last minute.”
Both Nunez and Van Dijk left comments beneath the post, with the former replying: “Little fighter.”
Diaz played the full 90 minutes yesterday and despite some bright moments, the £38 million man struggled to take his opportunities.
But the Colombian has been in excellent form of late, managing three goals and as many assists in his last six league games.
It’s no surprise to see both Nunez and Van Dijk praising the winger despite a goalless return as Diaz never lacks when it comes to effort.
Yesterday’s win will feel significant for Liverpool as they looked set to drop points at the City Ground.
It will only add to the feeling that this could well be their year once again as they bid to deliver a Premier League title in Jurgen Klopp’s last season in Merseyside.
