What Luis Diaz said after scoring his first Liverpool goal

Luis Diaz has spoken out after netting his first goal for Liverpool.

Diaz was signed by Liverpool from FC Porto in the January window, and has hit the ground running at Anfield.

The Colombian was handed his second Premier League start for the Reds on Saturday vs Norwich City.

The relegation-threatened side would actually take the lead in the game, but Liverpool were able to complete a second-half comeback, with Diaz netting Liverpool’s 3^rd and final goal on the day.

After the game, the attacker had the following to say regarding his first goal for the club on Instagram: "Very happy to score my first goal at my new home"

Elsewhere, Jurgen Klopp was too full of praise for his latest signing: "We saw now two games when Luis played – came on or played – where he was absolutely incredible.

"Today it was hard work for him as well, it was a tricky one, a tricky encounter. "So then staying on the pitch, staying in the game shows then the real quality because we changed system and brought Luis in the centre and Sadio in his natural position.”

"Sadio scored anyway in the centre but Luis makes this wonderful run in the centre as well. It’s good, he’s just an outstanding talent, a really, really good player. "I think he is very happy tonight. He should be."

Liverpool vs Leeds

Liverpool are now set to turn their attentions towards a clash with Leeds United.

Jurgen Klopp’s men head into the fixture aware that it is a huge one for their title hopes.

After Manchester City dropped points versus Tottenham at the weekend, Liverpool sit just six points behind them with a game in hand.

This comes in the form of the Reds' meeting with Leeds, with Manchester City not back in league action until next weekend.

So, it is imperative that Liverpool pick up three points against a struggling Peacocks side, to keep hopes of a genuine title race alive ahead of the season's run-in.
