Everton boss David Moyes has singled out Luis Díaz as Liverpool’s most dangerous player in their intense Premier League clash at Anfield last night. While many praised Liverpool’s substitutes for rescuing them in the Merseyside derby, Moyes believes Díaz was the real driving force behind the Reds’ victory.
Speaking after the match, Moyes admitted how difficult it was for his team to contain the Colombian winger. “For me, he [Díaz] was their main man yesterday. During the first-half break, my players told me they were finding it hard to keep him down as he was everywhere,” Moyes revealed with a smile. “He really frustrated my players on the pitch. To me, he’s my favorite in Liverpool.”
Liverpool’s attacking depth played a crucial role in securing the win, but Díaz’s relentless energy, dribbling, and movement caused endless problems for Everton’s defense. His ability to stretch play, cut inside, and link up with teammates made him a nightmare to handle, with Everton’s full-backs struggling to track his every move.
Fans were equally impressed by Díaz’s performance, flooding social media with praise for the Colombian’s tireless display. Many highlighted his non-stop work rate and ability to create chances out of nothing.
“This guy was just everywhere. Showing us the stuff he’s made of. We enjoyed every bit of his performance,” one fan posted.
Liverpool’s win keeps them firmly in the title race, and if Díaz continues delivering performances like this, he could be a key player in their pursuit of silverware this season. Everton, meanwhile, will have to go back to the drawing board as Moyes looks for a way to bounce back from the defeat.
