Jurgen Klopp's men got their first win of the league season by hammering Bournemouth at Anfield. Roberto Firmino and Luis Diaz each scored braces. Harvey Elliott, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, and Fabio Carvalho also got on the scoresheet.

However, fans were especially left in awe of Diaz's performance. The forward signed for the Anfield club during the winter transfer window from Porto. His performances since the move have been top-notch, as he has registered nine goals and five assists in 31 matches so far.

Many fans wrote on Twitter that the Colombian has filled the void left by Sadio Mane. The Senegalese made a move to Bayern Munich earlier this summer.

With three goals already from only four league games, Diaz seems to be on his way to having an eye-catching campaign.

Here's how fans reacted on Twitter to the 25-year-old's amazing showing against Bournemouth:

Liverpool endured a torrid start to their Premier League season. They played out two draws against Fulham and Crystal Palace. It was followed by a disappointing 2-1 loss to Manchester United away.

However, a thumping win in their latest game should help Jurgen Klopp's lot regain their confidence.

With five points from four games, Liverpool sit in ninth spot in the table, one spot below arch rivals Manchester United.

"It would be cool to have a new midfielder in, of course now. Yes, I am the one who said we don't need a midfielder, and you were all right and I was wrong."

De Jong has made 142 appearances for Barcelona since joining the club from Ajax in 2019. He has picked up 13 goals and provided 18 assists during his time at the Camp Nou.
