Mohamed Salah scored twice but he is not the only prominent name on Liverpool’s side.
Mohamed Salah was the hero who helped Liverpool win against Everton, but Luis Diaz was equally outstanding.
Placed in the starting lineup, Diaz stirred up Everton’s right wing. He once caused Ashley Young to receive a yellow card in the 18th minute.
Diaz’s class was clearly demonstrated in the 38th minute. Receiving the ball from his teammate, the Colombian star played 1-1 with Young. He moves the ball cleverly and with speed.
The player born in 1997 continuously dodged and pressed before pushing the long ball down the touchline. An older player like Young cannot keep up with a young, strong player like Diaz.
The former Manchester United star was forced to lean over to tackle the ball and was penalized. The foul situation was very clear and the referee gave Young a second yellow card. Everton played without players as the match passed the 38th minute
Liverpool faced difficulties despite having a personnel advantage and Diaz continued to create a breakthrough to help the host club overcome difficulties. The former Porto winger dribbled the ball technically on the left wing.
He turned the ball causing Nathan Patterson to miss and the number 2 was forced to commit a foul. VAR stepped in to determine the penalty for the home team.
From a distance of 11 meters, Salah broke the deadlock, thereby helping The Kop play more comfortably in the remaining stages.
With a relaxed mentality without pressure, Jurgen Klopp and his team set the score 2-0 after a counterattack.
Diaz completely tormented Everton’s defense.
