Liverpool was surprised by Crystal Palace in a match for the second round of the 2022-23 Premier League season. Ivorian Wilfried Saha silenced the thousands of 'reds' fans at Anfield Stadium by scoring the first goal of the match in the 32nd minute. However, in the second half, Luis Díaz set things right with a superb goal.
Although he was not having one of his best performances, the Colombian national team player made his mark with a dream play that thrilled Liverpool fans, watching as he skillfully bypassed an opponent. After three more Crystal Palace players failed to stop Díaz, he scored the equalizer with a right-footed shot.
The ball went straight into the net of Spanish goalkeeper Vicente Guaita, who couldn't control Díaz's shot, undoubtedly scoring his best goal since joining Liverpool last season.
The bad news for the team led by Jürgen Klopp came with the expulsion of Uruguayan Darqin Núñez, which somehow halted Liverpool's advance towards victory.
In the first match of the Premier League, the Champions League runner-up drew 2-2 against Fulham.
