The Colombian had missed the past few matches after the shocking kidnapping of his parents, but opted to make his comeback - and duly netted deep into stoppage time to seal a point, after Tahith Chong’s late goal looked to have claimed a famous win for the Hatters.
A point apiece keeps Luton in the bottom three and lifts Liverpool to third, ahead of Arsenal.
