Luis Diaz scored his first goal in Liverpool colors as the Reds ran out 3-1 winners over Norwich City at Anfield.
Having gone 1-0 down in the 48th minute to Milot Rashica’s deflected strike, things were looking ominous for Jurgen Klopp’s men.
But Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah scored in quick succession as the Reds turned things around later into the second half before Diaz struck his first Anfield goal, sending fans into hysteria.
Skipper Jordan Henderson sent a delightful through ball through the heart of the Norwich defense and Diaz quickly latched onto it before dispatching past Tim Krul.
Fans took to Twitter in reaction to the Colombian’s first goal for the six-time European champions:
