Liverpool's Diaz sends message to kidnapped father after goal

Related Topics: Luis Manuel Díaz, Liverpool FC

Luis Díaz made an extraordinary return for Liverpool as he scored a 95th minute equaliser as his team drew 1-1 with Luton Town in the Premier League while awaiting the promised release of his kidnapped father by Colombia's National Liberation Army (ELN) guerrillas on Sunday.

After scoring his late goal, Díaz lifted his Liverpool shirt to reveal a message underneath that said: "Libertad para papá" (Freedom for Dad.)

The Colombia international had missed Liverpool's last two matches after his mother Cilenis Marulanda and father Luis Manuel Díaz were seized by armed men in northern Colombia.
