Luis Diaz sends three word message to Jordan Henderson after Liverpool goal

Luis Diaz has sent Jordan Henderson a message after the Liverpool captain assisted his first goal for the club on Saturday.

The Reds were 1-0 down to Norwich City after 50 minutes on Saturday before goals from Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Diaz flipped the game on its head and earned Liverpool a crucial 3-1 victory.

The Colombia international was on the scoresheet for the first time in his Anfield career and it was courtesy of a brilliant assist from the Liverpool captain.

Henderson's through ball found Diaz in space just outside the area and the winger was able to fire it beyond Norwich goalkeeper Angus Gunn and into the back of the net.

Liverpool's new signing has since taken to Instagram to share his appreciation of Henderson, with the comment "great assist bro", followed by a flames and applauding emoji.

Diaz wasn't the only one, though, as former teammate Lucas Leiva also shared a comment on the captain's Instagram post, saying: "What as pass lad."

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp praised his new signing Diaz after the game and said he's an 'outstanding talent'.

“You could see, in the two games Luis had played where he came on or played, he was absolutely incredible but today it was hard work for him as well,” he told reporters post-match.

“It’s good, he’s just an outstanding talent. A really, really good player. You should ask him! I can’t remember my first goal and it was probably really nice!

“I think he is very happy. He should be!”
