Diaz saves Liverpool from Luton shock on return after parents’ kidnap

LUTON: Luis Diaz saved Liverpool from a shock defeat at Luton in a 1-1 draw on Sunday on his first appearance since his parents were kidnapped in his native Colombia.

“It’s a wonderful moment but it doesn’t change the situation,” said Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp. “The most important thing is his father is released.
“It is wonderful he wanted to be here.
