Jurgen Klopp paid tribute to Luis Diaz after his performance in the match in the final victory of Liverpool for the FA Cup over Chelsea on Saturday.
After being impressed by the same opposition at Wembley in the League Cup final in February, just weeks after joining the Reds, the Colombian was back on track as he helped his new team win an inside double.
