The 25-year-old enjoyed a lively start in the first half, enjoying several inter-changing of passing on the left-hand side with Andy Robertson.
At half time, former Reds striker and BT Sport pundit Owen was maxing lyrical about Diaz’s performance.
Owen argued that Diaz suits Liverpool’s style of play “like a glove”, and why picks out what he admired most about his performance.
“We were just drooling over him,” Owen told BT Sport.
“Don’t get me wrong, he hasn’t done anything in particular where you think, ‘wow he’s created an unbelievable chance,’ but I love his sharpness.
“He looks quick, he looks lively, he looks like he presses the ball, doesn’t mind running at players and beating them.
“I think he looks like a Liverpool player, he really does look like he’s going to fit into this team like a glove.
“Brilliant player. Already in the short fleeting appearance so far, he looks like he suits that red shirt.”
