Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson on Luis Diaz after he scored Liverpool's equaliser on his return to the side: "It says a lot about his character and inner strength. I can't imagine what he's going through.

"We're supporting him and feeling his pain but for him it's a different level. Football can bring joy to someone who is struggling. Football is bringing joy to Luis at this moment.

"He scored a fantastic goal for us which was really important.

"When you're on the pitch you focus on the job. He did it for us."

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, speaking to Sky Sports about Diaz: "A wonderful moment but it doesn't change the situation. Most important thing is that his father gets released.

"It is wonderful he wanted to be here. That's it, for us a super important goal and for him very important and emotional, but that's it."
