Luton Town 1-1 Liverpool

at Kenilworth Road

24th August 1991 was the last time Luton Town hosted Liverpool at Kenilworth Road in a League match with the points being shared following a 0-0 draw and the Hatters almost made the 5th of November one to remember after taking an 80th minute lead in this match.

But an equaliser deep into injury time from the returning Luis Diaz prevented the home side from celebrating what would have been the result of the season with the match ultimately ending 1-1, sparing his side’s blushes of being the first team to lose to new boys Luton this season.

Diaz returned to the Liverpool squad today following a three game absence after the Columbian had taken leave due to the kidnapping of his father from his Columbian hometown of Barrancas.
