Liverpool vs. Leverkusen: Diaz Leads 4-0 Second-Half Surge

The goals came thick and fast. First, Diogo Jota took advantage of a defensive error to put Liverpool in front. Then, Diaz smashed home a penalty after a foul on Darwin Nunez. Shortly after, the Colombian winger scored another beautiful goal, cutting inside and finding the back of the net with a sweet strike. The icing on the cake? Trent Alexander-Arnold finished off a lovely move, slotting the ball into the net with a calm finish.
