With his close-range finish to put Liverpool in a commanding position against West Ham this afternoon, Diogo Jota demonstrated his goal-poacher’s instinct.
When the Reds won a corner in front of the Kop with five minutes left in regulation in a close game at Anfield, they were up 2-1.
The 26-year-old calmly finished the ball to the net from inside the six-yard box after winning the initial header from the set piece. He read the flight of the ball perfectly to turn it home and double the home team’s lead.
Jota had to wait for a chance to come off the bench today, but once he did, he undoubtedly had the desired effect!
