In an acute-angled triangle $ABC$, $M$ is a point on the side $BC$, the line $AM$ meets the circumcircle $\omega$ of $ABC$ at the point $Q$ distinct from $A$. The tangent to $\omega$ at $Q$ intersects the line through $M$ perpendicular to the diameter $AK$ of $\omega$ at the point $P$. Let $L$ be the point on $\omega$ distinct from $Q$ such that $PL$ is tangent to $\omega$ at $L$. Prove that $L,M$ and $K$ are collinear.
