Encouraging displays

The 25-year-old Colombia international is scoring goals and creating chances for his Liverpool teammates.
Diaz has scored three goals in six Premier League appearances for the Reds so far this season.
Elliott is also a winger by trade, but the Englishman has been playing deeper in midfield for Jurgen Klopp’s side.
The 19-year-old is driving the team forward from midfield and is working hard to make things happen.
Elliott has scored one goal in five Premier League starts for Liverpool so far this campaign.
