# Virals: Liverpool fans hail ‘world class’ Diogo Jota performance

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2022/01/20/virals-liverpool-stepping-up-pursuit-for-fulham-starlet-fabio-carvalho/) advanced through to the Carabao Cup final thanks to a stunning brace from [Diogo Jota](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/12/24/darren-bent-lauds-fantastic-liverpool-forward-diogo-jota/).

The 25-year-old forward was in superb form as the Reds swept Arsenal aside [2-0](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11938/12521173/arsenal-0-2-liverpool-player-ratings-as-diogo-jota-shines-and-returning-thomas-partey-sees-red) at the Emirates Stadium.

In truth, the Portuguese ace has been a revelation since arriving at Anfield and now has [30 direct goal contributions](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/diogo-jota/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/340950/verein/31) in just 57 outings for the club.

Immediately after the match, many jubilant Liverpool fans took to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/DiogoJota18/status/1484306172370993153) to hail their two-goal hero.

> Fantastic! Not only your goals, but your all round contribution to the team was outstanding! [#YNWA](https://twitter.com/hashtag/YNWA?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)

Jota earned an [8.90 Sofascore rating](https://www.sofascore.com/player/diogo-jota/606164) for a performance containing one key pass, three tackles and two clinically taken goals.

This season the [22-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/diogo-jota/nationalmannschaft/spieler/340950/verein_id/3300) Portugal man who was [‘on fire’](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10425211/Liverpool-boss-Jurgen-Klopp-praises-outstanding-Arsenal-youngster-Gabriel-Martinelli.html) according to Jurgen Klopp has [scored 14 times and provided two assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/diogo-jota/leistungsdaten/spieler/340950) in 27 appearances.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

What a display.

Although the likes of Curtis Jones, Trent Alexander-Arnold [impressed](https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/curtis-jones-liverpool-arsenal-chants-22823596) on the night, Jota stole the show.

Not only has the former Wolves ace managed to [infiltrate](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/jota-impact-liverpool-similar-salah-klopp-headache-aldridge/1ixdq112s4wu9z9kenig0uy58) the previously untouchable front three, but he is now a key player within it.

Having been met with surprise at the time, the £41milliion ([BBC](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54214671)) is looking more of a bargain with each passing game.

Next up for the Reds [it’s Crystal Palace](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/match/2021-22/men/fixtures-and-results) in what could be the final game without Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Naby Keita.

Can the [£54million valued](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/diogo-jota/marktwertverlauf/spieler/340950) Jota step up once again?
