Liverpool's English midfielder Harvey Elliott celebrates after scoring his second goal during the Premier League football match.

To be the leader of the English league, Liverpool and Luis Díaz had to suffer more than necessary this Saturday, December 9, in their match on the 16th against Crystal Palace. For more than 50 minutes the 'reds' were unable to get a shot on goal, but they managed, through the changes, to find a way to come back and end up winning 1-2.

Initially, a penalty from the locals made Jürgen Klopp's team think that their desire for the top of the championship was fading. Fortunately for him, the variations made from the 57th minute gave a new look to the team led by the German, who ended up celebrating after goals from Mohamed Salah and Harvey Elliot.


Along with what Díaz did, who did shine for 67 minutes was the other Colombian on the field, Jefferson Lerma, who was left with the disappointment of not being able to score in an action he had in front of Liverpool's goal, even so it was of the most influential players to complicate their rival and end up scoring the first score of the game.


Just as it was a match for Liverpool without many clear scoring options, it was also the same for Luis Díaz who went quite unnoticed in the red team's attack. His rating below 7.0 points, furthermore, of little influence on the final result showed that he had suffered the game more than he could enjoy it.

I fight without shine


The guajiro's statistics in his 90 minutes on the field showed that he was only able to set up shots at the rival goal twice, of which only one had direction. In the percentage of completed passes he reached 86%, in long passes only 50% and his dribbles, which are always a lethal weapon, left him with 67% success rates.
