Liverpool wanted to win at Luton on Sunday night to capitalize on Arsenal’s defeat at St James’ Park and climb to second place alone in the Premier League table, but despite their 24 final appearances (6 at home), 3.04 goals and 74% ball possession He only managed to avoid defeat in the final.

The Rangers were superior for most of the game, but were unable to convert their chances into goals (more classic was the one from Nunes in the 70th minute, who sent the ball through the small area in front of the incredible goal with a placekick). And in the 80th minute they saw the unwritten law of football come into play when Chong made it 1-0 for the home team.

With this goal, the “Hatters” were just a breath away from their first home win in the Premier League and only second place in the standings, but in the 90+5 minute Luis Diaz kept Liverpool in the lead and even scored with a header The Colombian won the point with the message he wrote on his T-shirt about his father, who is still in the hands of kidnappers.

The match

Liverpool went strong for the quick goal and in the first 20 minutes Darwin Nunes was the star, trying in various ways to beat Kaminski. His deflected shots in the 5th and 16th minutes were blocked by the newcomer’s goalkeeper, who went over the crossbar in the 10th minute, and in the 13th minute he made the final score 0-1 with a strong shot into the penalty area into the beam connection.

The home side were then able to absorb the pressure they received through their strong defensive formation, with Zota having the opportunity to touch the goal in the 33rd minute when he connected with Kaminski following a great pass from Hraffenberg but sent the ball over the crossbar. to the opposing goalkeeper.

At the end of the first half, Liverpool scored in double figures (11, including 3 at home), 73% possession and 1.05 goals, but the ball was not in the net, which increased their fear index given the second half.

From the 46th to the 65th minute, Liverpool had the ball at their feet, but were completely caught up in the defensive tactics of the hosts, who had a great chance in the 65th minute with Morris (after an impressive individual effort from Ogbene), but saw Alisson deny them, deny the goal.

After this phase, Klopp made a triple substitution, looking for a way to change the image of the game. Kostas Tsimika was one of the new faces for the Reds, which was followed by two great chances from Liverpool.

A central figure in both cases was Nunes, who missed the goal in the 70th minute and sent the ball over the crossbar with a well-placed ball from the small penalty area and two minutes later saw Kaminski make a great intervention with a very powerful shot from inside the area.

In the 78th minute he rejected an attempt from Hraffenberg, whereupon Liverpool failed to take advantage of their chances and were punished severely. From a corner, the Reds scored a penalty with Van Dijk’s header, which was stopped by Barkley’s hand, but the phase continued, only for Luton to mount a quick counter-attack and Chong to score from a set-piece against Alisson to make it 1-0. after checking the phase by VAR.

The former Manchester United Dutch star celebrated the first goal of his career in England’s top flight, but it wasn’t enough to give his side their first-ever home win in the Premier League.

And that is because the Reds put on enormous pressure until the end of the 90th minute and also in the quarter of extra time in order to ensure justice shortly before the final whistle and not to leave Kenilworth Road completely empty-handed. This is because of Luis Diaz, the Reds’ most talked about face in ten days.
