Sancho shines for United, Diaz delivers for Liverpool

Luis Diaz’s arrival at Liverpool in January appeared a little extravagant as Jurgen Klopp had more than enough offensive players in his squad. But with injuries upfront, Diaz stepped in to score against Norwich at the weekend and become an instant favourite with the Anfield fans.Sancho coming good at right time:

The 21-year-old England international has been involved in four goals in his last five games for United — two goals and two assists — twice as many as in his first 23 appearances for the club.Liverpool manager Klopp was hardly short of offensive options before the club signed winger Diaz from Porto in January, but the Colombian could be set for a role in the Premier League title battle.

With Roberto Firmino and Diogo Jota sidelined by injuries, Diaz’s arrival looks timely for Liverpool.New manager Frank Lampard will be mystified by Everton’s Jekyll & Hyde performances that have seen them play with swagger and verve at home but be timid and error-prone on the road. Chelsea had hoped a month-long break from the Premier League, which included their Club World Cup triumph in Abu Dhabi, would draw a line under their winter slump. But the Blues still looked bereft of ideas even as they came away from Crystal Palace on Saturday with a 1-0 win.
