Slot and his team pulled off another victory at the Premier League today, all thanks to Mo Salah and Konate. However, it was Jota who took up the role of a creative genius in the first half of today’s match.
With Darwin Nunez missing from the lineup due to a sudden illness, the Portuguese got the nod from Slot. After getting the lead today, it appears that he has made the most of the No. 9’s absence.
What Diogo Jota did Liverpool vs Wolves?
Liverpool are now sitting at the top of the League again after today’s win at the Molineux Stadium. Although Ryan Gravenberch got the MoTM award in the end of today’s match, this LFC star has gained the attention of everyone.
His team might not have started the match in a good form, but Diogo Jota was spectacular in Liverpool vs Wolves. Yesterday, the Portuguese was back facing his former team, and it looked like he has regained his despite not scoring any goals.
Meanwhile, apart from the Premier League, he has already scored two goals in the EFL cup.
During the first half of Liverpool vs Wolves, Jota put forward a spectacular instance that proved why Slot has kept him in the lineup. The 27-year-old had the perseverance to run past and finally beat his man. His ability to pull out a left cross and assist Konate with his goal was absolutely astonishing to watch.
While Andy Raid was praising and talking about Jota in the Liverpool vs Wolves match, he was quick to spot the real trump card Diogo used. According to the former winger on BBC 5 Live, the Portuguese surprised him after switching to left foot.
“Lovely piece of play on the left from Jota. We all expected him to come inside on his right, but he goes on his left foot and what a cross on his left foot – he put it on a plate for Konate.”
