Liverpool star Luis Diaz curls in a STUNNER to help Colombia see off Bolivia in World Cup qualifying

Luis Diaz curled in a peach of a goal in Colombia’s win over Bolivia on Thursday, displaying incredible skill with a brillaint touch and curled finish to leave fans in awe.

Liverpool’s new £37million signing has impressed so far since from Porto in January – despite netting just twice so far – and he gave supporters further evidence of his class by getting his country off the mark in brilliant fashion during their World Cup qualifying clash.

Colombia won 3-0 on the night, with Diaz’s first strike being followed up by Miguel Borja and Mateus Uribe to keep their slim hopes of reaching the 2022 World Cup in Qatar alive.

But it was Diaz who stole the show with his sensational effort, having cushioned down a long ball with ease from the left wing, taking a touch and sending his shot curling into the bottom right corner from an angle. 

Fans were rightly blown away by the quality of his strike, with one hailing him as ‘our superhero’ after his brilliant effort. 

Another backed him to start scoring regular goals for Liverpool, writing: ‘I get the feeling he’s gonna come back from international duty and start banging in the goal in the red shirt.’

‘Liverpool legend… coming soon,’ read another post.

Diaz’s first touch was the focus of one fan’s adulation rather than the actual strike.

‘His first touch to kill that ball was absolutely outrageous.’

Another fan was in agreement, adding: ‘If you rewind to the first three seconds you’ll see an outrageous first touch.’ 

The goal led to wild celebrations from the Colombia players as they danced on the touchline

The 25-year-old has played 12 games in a Liverpol shirt so far, scoring in the 2-0 away win over Brighton this month and the 3-1 home win over Norwich in February.

Klopp called for patience from his new forward this week, saying he was ‘not far off’ performing ‘miracles’.

‘You don’t expect miracles immediately from these kind of players,’ Klopp told Sky Sports. ‘But he is not far away from doing exactly that. Long may it continue. 

‘With Luis, where it has been really special is that when we saw him we knew that he would fit in immediately. 

Diaz has netted twice since joining Liverpool but fans backed him to find the net on a regular basis after his stunning effort

‘That is really difficult usually but because he did not have to change, that is why we have a really confident boy here.

‘He was in a really good moment with Porto, playing good for Colombia, and so he came here full of confidence. But what we tried to make sure is that he does not lose that because of the playbook as we tell him that he has to do this and he has to do that.

‘We want him to be natural.’
