Alan Shearer impressed by Luis Diaz
The former Newcastle United striker spoke on The Rest is Football podcast and lauded Diaz’s performance. He said,
“It was a really good header at the far post, good cross in and he climbed above the defender.
Might have taken a little deflection off the defender but good for him.
I don’t know how he can get his head around to go out and play a game when he’s going through what he is.”

And this goes to show how much of a determined and strong character Lucho is. He did not let this unfortunate event affect his performance, instead, he used the situation to motivate himself to push even further.
This helped the 26-year-old to get his first goal after 9 matches and he will be hoping to add more in the future. Meanwhile, all the fans and the well-wishers will pray that his father will be rescued soon.
An ardent football fan and a proud Red. I take immense pleasure in analyzing the intricacies of the game.
