Liverpool striker Diogo Jota hailed their spirit shown for today's 2-2 draw at Manchester City.

Jota struck on the day as Liverpool stayed a point behind leaders City at the top of the Premier League table.

He said: "Very intense game. They are very good and playing at home. We tried to do our best but we felt at the end we could have done a little better. They had their chances and we had our too. We were fighting until the end.

"We tried to condition their game the way they wanted but they are obviously very good at what they do so it's not easy. You know sooner or later you can steal one or two balls and it's a football game so you need to take advantage of your chances.

"We were losing so we needed to change a little bit and it's nice to have a break to go again [at half-time]. We had a very good beginning. It's a draw in the end and now we need to believe from here until the end.

"That's why you play football for these types of games that are very important and very decisive. We wanted to win this game but it was not possible so we have to keep believing."
