I am, absolutely,” he said. “With the goal it became obviously a proper fairy tale to be honest. In my mind I had the situation, it’s not nice but it came up, in Leeds when we lost him with this horrible injury.

“Coming then on is already a great step back, but scoring this nice goal makes it a proper fairy tale so I am really happy for him. He was over the moon! It was properly touching. So, all good.” Diaz also popped up with an assist for Takumi Minamino, who has had a stop-start career at Anfield.
