Luis Diaz's girlfriend captured an adorable moment between the Liverpool forward and his daughter after he scored in the victory over Tottenham.

To mark his first start in six months, the Colombian fired home Cody Gakpo's cross to put Liverpool into a two goal lead in the first 10 minutes. Curtis Jones had put the Reds ahead just moments earlier.
