Rio Ferdinand hails 'unbelievable' Diogo Jota goal as Gianfranco Zola calls the Liverpool forward 'one of the cleverest players in the Premier League' after another trademark header in the win over Watford at Anfield

Rio Ferdinand was full of praise for Diogo Jota after the Portuguese forward opened the scoring in Liverpool's 2-0 win over Watford.

Jota met Joe Gomez's cross with a perfect header in the 22nd minute at Anfield to give the title-chasing Reds the lead against the lowly hornets.

It was the 25-year-old's 14th goal in the Premier League this season; only Liverpool teammate Mohamed Salah has found the net on more occasions.
