Liverpool go four points clear after storming comeback win over Luton

No excuses, Jürgen Klopp had said while reeling off his injury list for the visit of Luton. The statement looked in need of revision when Liverpool trailed after an uncertain 45 minutes against Rob Edwards’s enterprising side but, ultimately, no excuses were necessary.with a storming second‑half display and the belief it will take more than injuries to derail their title challenge.

Liverpool’s lengthening list of absentees included Mohamed Salah and Darwin Núñez, who sustained hamstring and muscle problems respectively in the win at Brentford on Saturday. Díaz was presented with an early chance when hesitation between the Luton ­defenders Teden Mengi and Gabriel Osho allowed Caoimhín Kelleher’s long ball to sail through to the Colombia international. The winger would have been through on goal but was unable to control first time and Mengi made a valuable interception. Luton’s defence would follow his lead repeatedly in the first half.

Tyrone native Conor Bradley created a clear opening for Díaz with a brilliant run at the heart of the Luton defence but Mengi managed to block the shot. Instantly, Díaz came again and though his penalty appeals for a handball by Osho were dismissed by the referee, Andy Madley, and VAR, Liverpool soon had the release of an equaliser.
