Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp reiterated his support for Luis Diaz after the forward scored a stoppage-time equaliser which snatched a 1-1 draw at Luton.<\/p>\n

Diaz missed Liverpool\u2019s 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest last weekend after returning to Colombia following news that his parents had been kidnapped, but he returned to training this week and came off the bench to earn the Reds a point at Kenilworth Road.<\/p>\n

The forward\u2019s mother has been released but he is still waiting for news on his father. After scoring, Diaz lifted up his shirt to reveal a white T-shirt which read \u2018libertad para papa\u2019 \u2013 \u2018freedom for my father\u2019.<\/p>\n

Liverpool boss Klopp lauded the player after his header looped over Hatters goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski to cancel out Tahith Chong\u2019s earlier strike.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s wonderful, it\u2019s emotional and it\u2019s fantastic,\u201d Klopp said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to give him the chance to be a little bit distracted from things. He cannot do anything, he\u2019s waiting all the time and so he trained a few times and he was in a good mood, which is good.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe signs from Colombia are positive and optimistic but not the one thing we want to hear.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe brings the quality with the 15-20 minutes he played.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think not many people (can) imagine what he has going on now \u2013 even us, we are close to him of course, we are supporting him, we feel his pain, but for him it is a different level.<\/p>\n

\u201cFootball sometimes in dark moments can bring joy to people, can bring joy to somebody who is struggling, and I think football is bringing a slice of joy to him at this time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are together with him, for whatever he needs. He came, trained, came to the game, scored a fantastic goal for us that was really important and we are with him 100 per cent.\u201d<\/p>\n

The hosts stifled Liverpool in the first half.<\/p>\n

And German boss Klopp highlighted his frustration with a lack of counter-pressing which he felt was \u201cpersonal\u201d.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cWhat I didn\u2019t like was that in the first half we had no counter-pressing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s something I take personally and I\u2019ve told the boys that\u2019s really not OK.<\/p>\n

\u201cI told them at half-time to be patient and that if they could add counter-pressing into the play then that would be really helpful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luton almost played the perfect game, only to concede late on.<\/p>\n

And manager Rob Edwards felt pride at full-time after his team\u2019s efforts gave them an important point in their survival bid.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy overriding feeling is pride,\u201d Edwards said. \u201cOf course we wanted to win the game but maybe they would have felt hard done by if we had won that.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a plan and the players committed to it and we got close. The feeling is pride.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe players gave everything.\u201d<\/p>\n
