Luton Town v Liverpool player ratings: Kaminski 8, Barkley 8; Salah 5, Diaz 8

Substitute Diaz comes from the bench to earn Reds a point with emotional equaliser

Thomas Kaminski 8/10

Had the busy day he surely expected. Saved well from Nunez, Gravenberch and Jota among others. PA

Teden Mengi 8/10

Ten Clearances, multiple blocks and interceptions from the young defender. Impressive stuff. Getty

Tom Lockyer 7/10

Typically wholehearted display from the Luton skipper. Showed compassion with Diaz at full-time. Alastair Grant

Gabriel Osho 7/10

Another to impress amid a determined collective showing from Luton's back-three. Getty

Issa Kabore 7/10

Tireless display at right wing-back crowned with a perfectly weighted cross for Chong's goal. Getty

Ross Barkley 8/10

Luton's most impactful player. Made the goal with superb run and pass. Not everything came off but if he can perform like this every week then Luton will be a better side for it. PA

Marvelous Nakamba 6/10

Tackled anyone that came near him. Got away with one hefty challenge on Mac Allister. Reuters

Alfie Doughty 7/10

Worked his socks off up and down Luton's left, illustrated in the second half when his own corner was cleared and he ran the length of the pitch to foil a Liverpool counter-attack. AFP

Andros Townsend 6/10

Considering he is still finding his feet after a major injury he showed good match sharpness and stamina. Reuters

Chiedozie Ogbene 7/10

Caused Alexander-Arnold problems all evening. One powerful burst midway through the second half created good chance for Morris. Alastair Grant

Carlton Morris 6/10

Waspish display as he set about the Liverpool defence. Never stopped working. Saw decent chance saved by Alisson around the hour mark. Alastair Grant

Tahith Chong 7/10

LUTON SUBS. Chong (for Townsend, 61'): Lively cameo capped by a super finish. Adebayo (for Morris, 75'): N/A; Brown (for Ogbene, 79'): N/A. Reuters

Alisson 7/10

LIVERPOOL RATINGS. Saved well from Morris as Luton threatened. Couldn't do much about Chong's goal. Reuters

Trent Alexander-Arnold 6/10

Some clever passes and quality crosses but under the pump defensively. Alastair Grant

Virgil van Dijk 7/10

Impressive display and his side needed it as the hosts put them under considerable pressure. PA

Ibrahima Konate 6/10

One impressive surge forwards with the ball but bullied by Ogbene at times. AFP

Joe Gomez 6/10

Deputised at left back and didn't let anyone down. Reuters

Alexis Mac Allister 4/10

Another difficult game for the summer signing. Gave the ball away cheaply and couldn't cope with Barkley. Booked. Alastair Grant

Dominik Szoboszlai 4/10

Has had rave reviews since summer move but was badly off the pace here. Alastair Grant

Ryan Gravenberch 7/10

Has hit the ground running and was impressive again. Some driving runs, slick passes and went close with shot from edge of box. AFP

Mohamed Salah 5/10

Made a mess of a headed chance on 70 minutes. Was largely on the fringes of the game. Alastair Grant

Darwin Nunez 5/10

His Liverpool career in microcosm. A constant threat, however, his touch and finishing were, at times, wild. PA

Diogo Jota 5/10

Drew a terrific save from Kaminski in the latter stages of the first half but offered little else. Getty

Cody Gakpo 6/10

LIVERPOOL SUBS (On for Jota, 66'): Couldn't adjust in time for one chance just after coming on. PA

Harvey Elliott 7/10

(On for Szoboszlai, 66'): A nuisance when he came on and picked out Diaz with a peach of a cross. Reuters

Kostas Tsimikas 6/10

(On for Gomez, 67'): Looked to get forward but final ball was erratic. Getty

Luis Diaz 8/10

(On for Gravenberch, 83'): Great leap for the equaliser. Remarkable contribution given the circumstances. Reuters

Luis Diaz ended a tumultuous week by coming from the bench to earn Liverpool a dramatic 1-1 draw against newly-promoted Luton Town at Kenilworth Road on Sunday.

Substitute Tahith Chong looked to have sealed a famous win for the Hatters when he clinically finished off a swift counter-attack by firing beyond Alisson with just 10 minutes remaining.

Diaz entered the action moments later and levelled as he rose highest to meet fellow substitute Harvey Elliott's cross.

It was Diaz's first appearance since his parents were kidnapped in his native Colombia last weekend. His mother was rescued by police but his father is still missing while negotiations take place.

Diaz lifted his shirt to reveal a T-shirt emblazoned with “Libertad Para Papa” (freedom for my father) after scoring the vital goal.

Despite peppering the Luton goal with numerous efforts, Liverpool were far from their best and struggled to create clear openings against their determined hosts. Luton always posed a threat on the break and Jurgen Klopp's side will have been relieved to depart with a point.

The draw keeps Liverpool third in the table, while Luton are 17th.
