Luis Diaz was afforded an Anfield standing ovation as he left the field late on against Norwich City on Saturday as Liverpool secured an important 3-1 win.
It wasn't a vintage Liverpool performance but it was day to remember for the Colombian after he scored his first goal for the club in only his second Premier League start.
Diaz' big moment arrived nine minutes from time, when the former Porto star made an angled run to collect a through ball from Jordan Henderson before expertly lifting the ball over the advancing Norwich goalkeeper Angus Gunn.
Delighted to get his first ever goal for the Reds at the Kop end, Diaz celebrated with a knee slide in front the famous stand, capping off a grafted come-from-behind victory for Jurgen Klopp's men.
