Jurgen Klopp said Diogo Jota 'is actually the player we thought he would be and also a little bit better' after the Liverpool forward fired home his 20th goal of the season -his best goalscoring campaign.
The 25-year-old arrived on Merseyside less than two years ago with a degree of uncertainty over what role he would play.
Liverpool's lethal front three of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino had helped secure the Champions League and Premier League in back-to-back seasons as well as glory at the Club World Cup.
