Liverpool were moments away from sinking to an embarrassing defeat against Luton Town until Luis Diaz rose highest to head home and snatch a point in the 95th minute.

It was amazing he was on the field considering what he had been through, including the kidnapping of his parents in his native country. However, the Colombian came off the bench to spare his team’s blushes and then honored them in celebration by pulling out a t-shirt that said “Libertad Para Papa,” which translates to “freedom for father.”

Whilst the fleet-footed winger produced a truly special moment, it was ultimately a performance to forget for Liverpool, especially in the attacking third.

Going forward, Alexander-Arnold consistently shows why he’s regarded as one of the best-attacking full-backs on the planet, however, his performance against the Hatters provided further evidence of his defensive deficiencies.

In the attacking third he was near faultless as he utilised his right foot as a weapon of mass destruction, carving a dagger through the hosts’ back line having registered 6 key passes, 9 crosses and completed a sensational 11 of his 16 attempted long balls, as per Sofascore.

On the flip side, he was dispossessed a whopping 28 times as Luton devised a plan to shut down his supply line by applying pressure onto him, with that sloppiness in possession translating across to his defensive work.

Rob Edwards earmarked him as Liverpool’s weak point defensively and tasked Chiedozie Ogbene with the responsibility of exposing his frailties on the counter-attack.

The Irishman took advantage of Alexander-Arnold’s inability to defend, terrorising him with his pace and power as the 24-year-old endured a tough afternoon defensively, winning none of his eight ground duels, making zero tackles and was dribbled past a staggering five times.

Ogbene was largely the culprit of that damage and the Englishman will go to bed this evening having nightmares of the horror show that unfolded at Kenilworth Road.
