How was Luis Díaz’s match in Liverpool-Manchester City

Liverpool received Manchester City on matchday number 13 of the Premier League, won 2-0 and did so with the presence of the Colombian Luis Diaz in the starting eleven. How was your match against Guardiola’s team?

El Guajiro was part of the Reds’ offensive trident along with Gakpo and Mohamed Salah, who was once again decisive.

Lucho did not start on the left wing of the attack, but rather occupied a new position in which Slot has tried to adapt the Colombian: as a ‘false 9’ in the center of the offense.

Díaz tried not to give references to City’s defensive scheme and fulfilled his role well. He moved throughout the attacking front, went down to create gaps between centre-backs and rotated with Gakpo at times to stay on his favorite wing.

In the first minutes, Lucho put a very good ball for the Dutchman Gakpowho defined but could not celebrate due to a very good cover by Ortega Moreno.

Díaz completed the game without being able to score and He still couldn’t break his losing streak against the Citizens, the only one in the Big Six that he couldn’t score against.

His best approach was thanks to a good filtered pass from Salah that the ‘7’ could not control well against Walker’s mark.

After 70 minutes, Díaz returned to his place on the left and Darwin Núñez entered for Gakpo to be the reference in the area.

At 77, Lucho was key to increasing the advantage: he generated a penalty for a foul committed by Ortega Moreno and left the score 2-0, scored by Mohamed Salah.

Lucho was replaced after 90 minutes and received a standing ovation from all of Anfield.

Liverpool achieved a key victory, It remains more leader than ever in the Premier and is 11 points ahead of Pep Guardiola’s team.
