Luis Diaz made his first Liverpool start in the team's 2-0 victory over Leicester City on Thursday evening.And it was like the Colombian star had been operating in the Premier League for over a decade, such was the quality of his performance at Anfield.The former FC Porto man didn't score or assist a goal, but he was absolutely everywhere and looked a constant threat whenever on the ball, with his dribbling skills the real standout.Diaz's chemistry with Andy Robertson on the left flank was pretty eye-catching as well, which is hugely exciting if you're a Liverpool fan.The Scotsman said in his post-match interview with BT Sport: "My Spanish isn't great but me and Luis made it work today! My partnership with Sadio has been special over the past five years - he will come back full of confidence after winning a trophy - we have options, we keep pushing each other."Diaz was deservedly given a standing ovation by the Anfield faithful when he was replaced by Takumi Minamino in the final few minutes of normal time.
Debuts don't come much better than that, do they?The signing of Diaz already looks like a masterstroke by Liverpool and the Colombia international's individual highlights from the game against Leicester should serve as a warning to the rest of the Premier League.Check them out here...
Video: Diaz's highlights on first start for Liverpool v Leicester
Does Diaz not know the meaning of the phrase 'take time to settle in'?! What a performance from the 25-year-old sensation.
Liverpool look as if they've got themselves another absolute gem in attack and that should really concern the rest of the Premier League - and those still in the Champions League.
Diaz, Diogo Jota (who scored both goals against Leicester), Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, and Roberto Firmino as forward options? Now that's what you call strength in depth.
In his post-match interview with BT Sport, manager Jurgen Klopp was full of praise for Diaz: "That's exactly how he's looked in the training sessions, so we thought we should try it then (to play him).
"He looks natural in a lot of moments. It was an outstanding game for his first start. He was involved in so many football moments. Really, really good."
Klopp added in a separate interview that Diaz already "looked like a Liverpool player".
Good luck trying to stop the Reds' attack in the near future...
