Luis Diaz earned rave reviews once more for his latest Liverpool performance at the weekend.
The Colombian was on target in the Reds' 2-0 win at Brighton, bravely committing himself to head past the onrushing Brighton keeper Robert Sanchez.
Diaz has now scored two goals in five Premier League appearances and is proving just why Jurgen Klopp's side were right to jump ahead of Tottenham Hotspur to complete a January transfer.

Gary Lineker was left impressed by the 25-year-old when discussing his display on Match of the Day, applauding how quickly the former Porto winger has acquitted himself to the English top-flight.
“It’s quite unusual for a player particularly in the January window, coming from abroad, to make such an impact," said the former Everton, Barcelona, Tottenham Hotspur and England striker.
“He really has hit the ground running. He was excellent again. He looks like a brilliant signing.”
Echoing the comments of Lineker, Jermaine Jenas was also full of praise for the Reds' new recruit.
Making this signing all the more impressive for the ex-Spurs midfielder is the fact that he has followed the same trend as Diogo Jota, wasting little time to stake a first-team claim.
"I don't know what they're doing at Liverpool, but Diogo Jota slotted into the team seamlessly and was scoring goals at will," said Jenas of Liverpool's ability in the transfer market.
"And this guy [Diaz] has been electric down this left side. He is a special talent and you can see how much of an influence he is having. He seems to be growing game-on-game
"The way he has hit the ground running is pretty special."
