Diogo Jota delighted to be back on Liverpool scoresheet

Diogo Jota was delighted to be back on the scoresheet in Liverpool's thrashing of Leeds.

Jota scored twice in Monday's 6-1 rout at Elland Road - his first goals of the season.

He said, "Yeah, it was a great feeling. Obviously as a forward I want to score, not only assist, as I've been doing this season. And hopefully I can carry on this form from today.

"I think it was a bit of last season as well, I didn't score in the last few games. This season is really, really hard, struggling with injuries. Now I'm trying to get that momentum and games like today will certainly help for that.

"It's part of football, you try to always believe in yourself but obviously when you do get the goal everything becomes easier in a player's mind. So, we just need to take advantage of the moment because it's really hard to achieve that."
