Jamie Carragher lauds ‘out of this world’ Liverpool star Diogo Jota

Liverpool forward Diogo Jota was once again a star as the Reds were held to a 2-2 draw against Tottenham in North London. 

Despite being forced into fielding an unfamiliar midfield, Jurgen Klopp’s side were always in the contest and the 25-year-old’s potency came to the fore. 

Having gone behind to a Harry Kane strike, Jota responded soon after with a superbly placed header. 

Speaking on Sky Sports, former Anfield favourite Jamie Carragher was full of praise for the expert finish. 

Jota is a goalscoring sensation. That header was out of this world. It was like Denis Law.

Overall the 22-cap Portugal star earned a 7.00 Sofascore rating in a display comprising of 44 touches, three tackles and 15 passes. 

So far this season the ex-Wolves ace has scored 11 times and provided two assists in 21 appearances across all competitions.

Albeit diminutive to look at, Jota has proven time and time again to be lethal in the air. 

Now facing further competition from a fit-again Roberto Firmino, the Portuguese forward will be hoping to double down on a starting berth in Klopp’s side. 

Boasting a rising market value of £40.5million (Transfermarkt), Liverpool certainly seem to have unearthed another gem heading straight to the top of the game.
