Double scorer this Thursday evening against Arsenal to qualify Liverpool for the EFL Cup final, Diogo Jota has perfectly made up for the absences of his teammates Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané, in Cameroon to play in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations. The Portuguese striker brings his total to 14 goals this season, better than his record for the last season.
The player recruited from Wolverhampton as a complement to the attacking trio Salah-Firmino-Mané continues to progress and impress his coach Jürgen Klopp: “When he arrived at the club we were convinced he would help us a lot, but since he arrived he has taken another step and become a world-class striker.” He also has all his class against Mikel Arteta’s men during a boss-size performance: “we scored two spectacular goals, Diogo Jota was on firesums up the German technician.
